Biodiversity (Biodiversity)

The variety of life on Earth and the interconnections among living things

Biodiversity (Botanical)

Biodiversity is a commonly used abbreviation of the two words, "biological" and "diversity". It simply refers to the diversity, or variety, of plants and other living things in a particular area, region, or the planet as a whole system.

Biodiversity (Environment)

Refers to the variety and variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes in which they occur. Diversity can be defined as the number of different items and their relative frequencies. For biological diversity, these items are organized at many levels, ranging from complete ecosystems to the biochemical structures that are the molecular basis of heredity. Thus, the term encompasses different ecosystems, species, and genes.

Biodiversity (Forestry)

The variety of genes within an animal or plant species, the variety of species in a region, and the variety of ecosystems or habitats within a region

Biodiversity (Geography)

The number and variety of organisms found within a specified geographic region. Or, the variability among living organisms on the earth, including the variability within and between species and within and between ecosystems.

Biodiversity (Landscape)

A measurement of the number of species and the variety of life and its processes in an area.

Biodiversity (Natural Gas)

Refers to the variety of ecosystems and animal, bird, fish and plant species.

Biodiversity (Nature)

The variety of living organisms (plants, animals, and micro-organisms) upon the earth and the interactions and ecosystems they form and are part of.

Biodiversity (Oceanography)

The diversity of life found in nature. The ecosystem relies on complex food chains and interaction between different organisms. A class full of identical students all with the same name and same likes/dislikes would be very dull - biodiversity makes life more interesting and is essential to our ecosystem. One early sign of damage in the environment is a reduction of biodiversity - the number of different plants and animals becomes reduced.

Biodiversity (Oil)

Refers to the variety of ecosystems and animal, bird, fish and plant species.

Biodiversity (Physical Geography)

The diversity of different species (species diversity), genetic variability among individuals within each species (genetic diversity), and variety of ecosystems (ecosystem diversity). Abbreviation of biological diversity.
