What do you mean by biodiversity of an area?..
please write in very short answer... please
then I will make you brain lost
Answers
Answer:
biodiversity is the study of number and varieties of species present in a region.
Explanation:
In biodiversity we only find the number of living organism in our surrounding.
For example the biodiversity of your school is plants,humans,insect etc including all living organisms present in your school

➡Organism within a single ecosystem or habitat, including numbers and diversity of species and all environmental aspects such as temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and climate. Biodiversity can be measured globally or in smaller settings, such as ponds.
➡Why is Biodiversity Important?
Why is Biodiversity Important?Without biodiversity, the health of the planet is at stake. Every single species has a role to play, although some – like viruses and disease-carrying mosquitoes – are considered to be damaging to the well-being of humans and other organisms and steps are being taken to eradicate them.
➡A healthy ecosystem has a rich level of biodiversity. The less inhabitable an ecosystem, the less life it can support. For example, a single organism ecosystem was recently discovered deep in a South African gold mine, where only one type of bacteria – Desulforudis audaxviator – is able to survive. Should something drastic happen to affect the health of this bacteria and it becomes extinct, there is no other organism to take advantage of this inhospitable environment. In other terrestrial, aquatic or marine environments, a lack of biodiversity of plant life (producers) means the numbers of consumers are limited.
➡Plants of the same species can diversify to be able to live in alternative habitats. Mangrove trees – a diverse group of around eighty different species – have diversified to successfully survive and reproduce in salt water. This change was due to genetic mutations which allowed them to move from aquatic into marine ecosystems, and so increase the biodiversity of a different region and ensure the survival of the species. As with humans, genetic diversity in other organisms can affect any aspect of that organism’s make up. From size to color, to diet, to function, and everything in between.
➡Threats to Biodiversity
Threats to BiodiversityThe greatest threat leading to the loss of biodiversity is the human race. As our population grows together with our need for food, water, industry, transportation, and home comforts, it takes over natural ecosystems and replaces them with unnatural ones. Even in these, other organisms can adapt and successfully reproduce, but the levels of biodiversity as compared to the replaced environment are significantly lower.

In escaping from these flies, caribou also spend less time feeding. Furthermore, they also have to compete for the meager plant life when other herbivores, previously kept away by the cold, arrive and thrive through adaptive radiation.
➡Benefits of Biodiversity
Benefits of BiodiversitySpecies can have instrumental or intrinsic (inherent) value. When of use to humans, either as a pleasing aspect (a pet dog) or a useful one (willow bark as a pain killer), they are instrumental. If a species has other value beyond its use to the human race, it has intrinsic value. This would include the fact that a species is part of the world’s natural history. New discussions regarding the ethics of human effects upon biodiversity sway towards agreeing that every species has intrinsic value.
