An example of ecological diversity on a global scale would be the variation in ecosystems, such as deserts, forests, grasslands, wetlands and oceans. Ecological diversity is the largest scale of biodiversity, and within each ecosystem, there is a great deal of both species and genetic diversity...

Biodiversity is having an ecosystem with various life forms (organisms) inhabiting it. If a species goes extinct, then automatically biodiversity is decreased. This also means that other animals that may rely on this specie as a food source may also die off, resulting in a further loss of biodiversity. This will have a large ripple effect throughout the entire ecosystem.

bookishWorM: can you please explain a bit more?
aadikumar: Biodiversity is defined as the variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species... But ecosystem is quite different from it as ecosystem are dynamic interactions between plants, animals, and micro-organisms and their environment working together as a functional unit & eosystem will fail if they do not remain in balance.
aadikumar: hope this make ur doubt clear quite more..
Joel873: Estuarine areas and tropical forests are rich in terms of biodiversity. Deserts are not rich in terms of biodiversity
Estuarine areas (where rivers meet seas and oceans) have high biodiversity compared to other areas.
Trophical rainforests are rich in terms of biodiversity.
Arid and semiarid areas have low biodiversity. Deserts, for example, contain limited numbers of species.
