- Biodiversity
- Ecosystem Diversity
- The range of different habitats within a particular area
- Genetic Diversity
- The variety of genes possessed by the individuals that make up any one species
- Species Diversity
- The number of different species and the number of individuals of each species within any one community
- There are two components to species diversity
- The number of different species in a given area
- The proportion of the community that is made up of an individual species
- Diversity index
- Equation: d = N(N-1) (the sum of) n(n-1)
- d = Species diversity index
- N = The total number of organisms of all species
- The higher the value for d the greater the species diversity
- Equation: d = N(N-1) (the sum of) n(n-1)
- It refers to the number and variety of living organisms in a particular area
- Ecosystem Diversity
