    This document provides information on the levels of biodiversity. It discusses that biodiversity can be examined at three levels - ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity. Ecosystem diversity addresses the characteristics of ecosystems and biotic/abiotic properties. Species diversity is defined as the number and abundance of species in an ecosystem. Genetic diversity refers to the variability in genetic characteristics within a species. Some examples are provided for each level of biodiversity. Advantages of biodiversity conservation include preserving ecological diversity and food chains. Disadvantages include potential restrictions on human population and living from more biodiversity.

    SEMESTER – FIFTH[2022 - 2023]
    SUBJECT: Enviromental Studies
    Report on Levels of Biodiversity
    What is Biodiversity?
    • Biodiversity literally means diversity of life that exists on earth. The
    term biodiversity was given by Walter G. Rosen (1985) as a compound
    word for the term ‘Biological Diversity’ originally proposed by
    Lovejoy (1980) as the number of species in a community.
    • Biodiversity is the biological variety and variability of life on Earth.
    Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and
    ecosystem level.
    Levels of Biodiversity
    • Level 1 – Ecosystem Diversity
    • Level 2 – Species Diversity
    • Level 3 – Genetic Diversity
    Level 1 : EcoSystem Diversity
    • Ecosystem diversity deals with the variations in ecosystems within a
    geographical location and its overall impact on human existence and the
    environment.
    • Ecosystem diversity addresses the combined characteristics of biotic
    properties (biodiversity) and abiotic properties (geodiversity).
    • Some examples of ecosystems that are rich in diversity are:
    1. Deserts
    2. Forests
    3. Marine ecosystems
    4. Rainforests
    5. Tundra
    Level 2 : Species Diversity
    • Species diversity is defined as the number of different species present in an
    ecosystem and relative abundance of each of those species.
    • It is a measurement of biological diversity to be found in a specific ecological
    community. Some examples of species diversity are –
    • Different species of fishes.
    • Different species of trees.
    • Different species of flowers.
    Level 3 : Genetic Diversity
    • Genetic diversity is the variability or variety within animal, group, or
    assembly. It is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic
    makeup of a species, it ranges widely from the number of species to
    differences within species and can be attributed to the span of survival
    for a species.
    • Some examples of genetic diversity are: -
    1. The population of humans consists of individuals with different
    physical traits.
    2. Different plant breeds are crossbred to get the desired trait in a
    particular plant
    3. Different breeds of dogs. Dogs are selectively breed to get the
    desired traits.
    Advantage of Biodiversity
    • Conservation of biological diversity leads to
    conservation of essential ecological diversity to
    preserve the continuity of food chains.
    • The genetic diversity of plants and animals is
    preserved.
    • It ensures the sustainable utilisation of life support
    systems on earth.
    • It provides a vast knowledge of potential use to the
    scientific community.
    Disadvantage of Biodiversity
    • More biodiversity means more of animals and plants hence the
    population and living of humans can be restricted.
    • Excess of wild animals can harm the humans.
    • The establishment of the forest cause cost.
    • The loss of biodiversity has two significant impacts on human health
    and the spread of disease.
    • It increases the number of disease-carrying animals in local
    populations.
