Biodiversity

Diversity Lab Write-Up Introduction: Biodiversity is the measure of the variety of the organisms in an ecosystem. This variety can be between species, within species, and between ecosystems, but in this lab, only the variety between species will be discussed to quantify the biodiversity of the target ecosystem. Biodiversity can be quantified by two main aspects which are species richness, and species eveness. Species richness is the number of species observed per sample of an ecosystem, and if…

daily harming and threatening the world 's biodiversity. There are three types of biodiversity including biodiversity ecosystem, species biodiversity, and genetic biodiversity. All three are fairly self explanatory, ecosystem biodiversity is all the ecosystems within a region of Earth, species biodiversity is all the organisms within an ecosystem, and genetic biodiversity is the different subsets of an organism like a white bunny or a grey one. Biodiversity is so important to remain protected…

Biodiversity, what, who cares, should we pay attention to this? The first question that should be answered is what is biodiversity? To put it simply, it is the study of species and all of their respected families. It covers the whole spectrum of animal life all the way down to the plant life and its variety of those species. Without biodiversity, we would all look the same and there would be nothing different. For example, all the different kinds of flowers you like, only one of them would exist…

Existing for over 4.5 billion years, Earth has provided an environment with an abundant and diverse biodiversity with infinite types of organisms and many resources among the ecosystem. As the variety life on Earth survives from the provided resources, the biodiversity itself, however, isn’t sustaining very well after millions of years have passed. With the evolution of humans and population increasing, expansion and migration toward different areas eventually allowed humans to learn how to…

Question1: 1. Focusing on the reduction or decrease the biodiversity is one of the ways which human have used to achieve the above. 2. The elimination of several predators in the nature 3. When overusing some of the resources of the existing renewable energy in the nature vary rapidly and in a way that nature cannot replenish them 4. Causing the natural chemical cycle as well as the flow of the energy in the nature to be disturbed. 5. When human relies more on some of fossil fuels that are…

In viewing threats to biodiversity, its implications can be interpreted and understood through multiple facets of the perspective of Modernization theory, such as its cultural implications. The cultural relevance of issues such as the loss of species, resources and global warming are all greatly impacted by the opinions of the people and whether or not they view these issues as affecting their way of life. This can be interpreted through modernization theories’ attention toward the individual…

The National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis had published a study entailing the impact of biodiversity loss, in which post doctorate Fellow Jarrett Byrnes claims, “Habitat destruction, over-harvesting, pollution, climate change and more all contribute to the loss of diversity of life on Earth. If we want to slow the rate of human-caused diversity…

Biodiversity is something that we must preserve, rebuild, and is what we must let flourish and thrive. For that it is a major component of the sustainability of Earth and the human race. It provides us with our essential day-to-day needs such as coffee. {Coffee is derived from the coffee plant, and is crucial to most humans on the planet to get their morning jolt of energy, which helps keep productivity high. Without coffee people probably wouldn’t even get out of bed let alone go to work.…

Biodiversity In The Amazon Rainforest Just think, you are a little bacteria in the huge Rainforest, waiting to be found. But all the sudden your home gets destroyed and burned to make roads and factories. For what? Just to pollute the environment and especially the air. People think animals and bacteria don’t have feelings and that they wouldn’t be mortified and confused that their land and home have been cut and burned down. That is why it is very important to save the Rainforest.…

in sight. It is nearly unimaginable that the animals you once saw in this very location could have ever lived here. Biodiversity is the variety of life in an ecosystem. Biodiversity holds an ecosystem together like glue. Having biodiversity means every species, no matter how small, is important to maintaining life in an ecosystem. Human activities are the main threat to biodiversity. Humans…
