Restoration of Watsonville Vegetation

The plan: Assess biodiversity of this plot today Give data to Jenn & Carla to summarize Restore with native vegetation Assess biodiversity afterwards and compare

Biodiversity What is biodiversity? Why is biodiversity important? What do healthy ecosystems provide for humans?

How do we measure biodiversity? Each of these species are really different… How do we compare “apples to oranges”? Many species! That is A LOT of counting.

Biodiversity can be quantified (counted) in many different ways

Total number of species Plants Number of woody species vs. herbaceous species Grasses vs. non grasses Pollinator types (bee pollinated, wind pollinated, bird pollinated) Differences in leaf shapes Differences in height Insects Number of species Abundance of a single species Pollinators vs. non – pollinators
