Practise biodiversity questions that use species richness, abundance, evenness, field data and real contexts such as rivers, farms and Arctic species.
A group of students investigate the biodiversity in two fields, A and B.
Field A is grazed by cattle and field B has no cattle.
Explain what is meant by the term biodiversity.
An explanation that makes reference to two of the following
- (number / amount / how many/ range) the different species / eq
- number / abundance / how many of each species / eq
- variation / variety (of organisms) (in an ecosystem) / eq
species richness
species evenness
