Biodiversity is affected by climate, area, niche, genetic diversity, and existing.

Existing doesn't make sense because is laking a substantive and it provides no information.

Biodiversity means the diversity of living beings, so the sentence could be corrected as:

Biodiversity is affected by climate, area, niche, genetic diversity, and existing species.
