Detailed explanation-1: -Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms within a given area.
Detailed explanation-2: -Species Diversity is simply the number and relative abundance of species found in a given biological organisation (population, ecosystem, Earth). Species are the basic units of biological classification and hence, this is the measure most commonly associated with the term ‘biodiversity’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Species diversity is a measurement of biological diversity to be found in a specific ecological community. It represents the species richness or number of species found in an ecological community, the abundance (or number of individuals per species), and the distribution or evenness of species.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -Biodiversity or biological diversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic (genetic variability), species (species diversity), and ecosystem (ecosystem diversity) level.
