    Biodiversity Concept

    • Biodiversity refers to the variety of different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms that live in an ecosystem or on Earth as a whole.
    • It also includes the genetic diversity within each species, the variety of ecosystems, and the interactions between different species and their environment.

    Scales of Biodiversity

    • Biodiversity occurs at multiple scales, including:
      • Genetic diversity: variations within individual species
      • Species diversity: number of different species in an ecosystem
      • Ecosystem diversity: variety of different ecosystems in a region or on Earth

    Ecosystems and Biodiversity

    • Biodiversity includes different types of ecosystems, such as:
      • Terrestrial ecosystems (forests, grasslands, deserts)
      • Freshwater ecosystems (rivers, lakes, wetlands)
      • Marine ecosystems (coral reefs, estuaries, open ocean)
      • Arctic and alpine ecosystems (tundra, arctic sea ice)
    • It also includes the interactions between species and their environment, such as:
      • Predation and symbiotic relationships
      • Nutrient cycling and decomposition
      • Climate regulation and disturbance regimes
