the concepts of species diversity‚ habitat diversity and genetic diversity. Species diversity: Both the range and number of organisms found in a single place or habitat – how many species and how many of each Genetic diversity: Range of genetic material present in a species or a population‚ the gene pool. Domestication and plant breeding lead to a loss of genetic variety‚ hence the importance of “gene banks” Habitat diversity: The number of different habitats per unit area that a particular ecosystem
