What is biodiversity

Question

what is biodiversity

Answer 1

Biodiversity is many different types of species. For example, in a forest you can have mammals, insects, fish, and birds, and you can have many different kinds of each. If you put up a birdfeeder you will see many different species of bird visiting to eat, that is biodiversity. If you put up a birdfeeder and see only one or two species visiting, the environment lacks biodiversity.

So a forest with high biodiversity has lots of each kind of animal.

The reason biodiversity is important is because all the roles of feeding in a forest must be maintained for a healthy equilibrium. Imagine if you put up a birdfeeder and no birds came to it, each day you go out and fill your feeder, but no birds--the seeds keep piling up, they don't get distributed, a lot of little things that are bad. So when many species become missing all these little bad effects on the ecosystem build up and create an unhealthy forest.

Answer 2

The different variety of living organisms in an area

Answer 3

Biodiversity refers to the variety of species living in a given environment at a given time.  When many different species all coexist in a particular environment together, that environment is said to have a high biodiversity.

Answer 4

Bios means organism and diversity means different species.So, biodiversity means different species of organism living together in an ecosystem and are interdedent on ech other either directly or indirectly

,Ex: food web and loss of even one species can cause imbalance and can disturb whole ecosystem.
