Question

a given habitat we have 20 plant species and 20 animal species. Should we call this as ‘diversity’ or ‘biodiversity’? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

diversity because there are only plants and animals

Answer 2

Answer:

Only diversity as there are only plants and animals.

Biodiversity is not only the sum of all ecosystems, species and genetic material. Rather, it represents the variability within and among them.

Diversity is rather an attribute of life (the variety of bird species, the genetic variability of wheat around the world, forest types, etc.)
