A Detailed explanation Biodiversity! Introduction What is Biodiversity ? The word ’biodiversity’ is a contraction (short form) of biological diversity. Diversity is a concept which refers to the range of variation or differences among some set of entities; biological diversity thus refers to variety within the living world (here a habitat). The term ’biodiversity’ is indeed commonly used to describe the number‚ variety and variability of living organisms. From the above explanation it is
Premium Biodiversity Ecology
Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. Biodiversity is a measure of the health of ecosystems. Greater biodiversity implies greater health. Biodiversity is in part a function of climate. In terrestrial habitats‚ tropical regions are typically rich whereas polar regions support fewer species. Rapid environmental changes typically cause extinctions. One estimate is that less than 1% of the species that have existed on Earth are extant

Biodiversity: Who Cares? Biodiversity is important for many reasons. One reason it is important is for biological reasons. If biodiversity is affected in a biological community it can cause species to overpopulate or become extinct. These changes can cause issues with the goods and services that an ecosystem provides to humanity. Species’ functional characteristics influence the ecosystem properties. Every species depends on each other. If one is wiped out then another species will lose their

Biodiversity is the variety of all life forms including animals & plants that can be found either in just one location or across the entire country. The ways you can identify a healthy creeks is see if it has a good amount of biodiversity. The second most important part is the monitoring of the creek‚ which is done by running tests similar to what we did

People tend to over look the importance of biodiversity. Without it we would lose a lot of the resources that we use for important and everyday things. One example is that a lot of medicines come from plants‚ and the more plants we have on the planet

Ecosystem is a system formed by the interaction of all living organisms with each other and with the physical elements of the environment. The vulnerability of an ecosystem can be determined through the examination of its location‚ biodiversity‚ extent and linkages. The vulnerability of the ecosystem is closely linked with the effectiveness of the functioning and the diversity of the ecosystem. The resilience of an ecosystem is also important when looking at the survival of ecosystems. Resilience
