1
Biodiversity: Diversity among and within plant and animal species in an environment. Note: The preservation of biodiversity is considered by environmentalists to be a major goal of environmental policy.
2
Ecological Diversity:
Is a type of biodiversity. It is the variation in the ecosystems found in a region or the variation in ecosystems over the whole planet.
3
Habitat: The natural environment of an organism; place that is natural for the life and growth of an organism.
4
Niche: The position or function of an organism in a community of plants and animals.
5
POPULATION distribution:
The arrangement or spread of organisms living in a given area; also, how the population of an area is arranged according to variables.
6
POPULATION DENSITY: The number of organisms living per unit of an area (e.g. per square mile); the number of organisms relative to the space occupied by them
7
Resource Partitioning:
So, when species divide a niche to avoid competition for resources, it is called resource partitioning. Sometimes the competition is between species (interspecific competition) and sometimes it's between individuals of the same species (intraspecific competition).
8
Species Richness: Species richness is simply the number of species present in a sample, community, or taxonomic group. Species richness is one component of the concept of species diversity, which also incorporates evenness, that is, the relative abundance of species.
9
One species or one type of organism
Monoculture One species or one type of organism
10
Polyculture Many species or many types of organisms
