The ecosystem that likely has the lowest species diversity among the options provided is the desert. Deserts are characterized by extreme conditions, such as low water availability and high temperatures, which limit the variety of species that can thrive there compared to more diverse ecosystems like tropical rainforests or coral reefs.
