Detailed explanation-1: -Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects.
Detailed explanation-2: -Species richness (S) is the number of species within a defined region. The species richness of a region is obtained through sampling or via a census. Because “region” is defined by the observer, species richness has been further categorized into three components to account for changes in spatial scale.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biodiversity is often measured as the species count in a given area, be it a single tree, an ecosystem, a landscape or region, or the planet as a whole. However, biodiversity may be measured in other ways. BIODIVERSITY MAY BE MEASURED AS GENETIC DIVERSITY.
