Solution 1
It is correct to state that India has greater ecosystem diversity than Norway. The primary reason for the same is that India lies primarily in the tropical and sub-tropical zone, whereas Norway lies near the Arctic region. This exposes India to greater amounts of sunshine and hence a greater level of productivity at all trophic levels as compared to Norway. Also, India has greater geographical, topological and climatic diversity compared to Norway leading to greater biodiversity.
Solution 2
Yes. India has greater ecosystem diver system diversity than Norway having deserts, rainforests, mangroves, coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and alpine meadows.
