A4.2.1—Biodiversity definition Topic Practice
Practise defining biodiversity through richness, evenness and diversity indices, then using data to compare ecosystem stability.
How this is tested
- distinguish species richness from evenness using community count data
- calculate or interpret Simpson reciprocal index values to compare biodiversity
- explain why higher diversity values may indicate more stable or complex ecosystems
