Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Biodiversity refers to the diverse plant and animal species in an area. This includes the species exclusively found - the endemic species - and the other common species of flora and fauna. The biodiversity of India varies from place to place. It is not the same in the Western Ghats and the Northern Plains. Several factors influence this distribution, including temperature, precipitation, and soil type. Depending on the climatic conditions, flora and fauna of a region are distributed accordingly by nature. The Western Ghats and the northeast hilly regions are ideal for Tropical Evergreen forests, while the Himalayan hills have tropical vegetation in their foothills and coniferous vegetation at high altitudes. Similar is the case of the distribution of fauna. Thus, biodiversity is influenced by the climate in the region.
