Biodiversity can be defined as the diversity of forms of life.

生物多样性和物种的数量NOTequivalent terms. Biodiversity includes the number of species, but also the diversity within species (genetic) and ecological diversity.

Biodiversity can change a lot between different biomes. Different biomes have certain levels of diversity associated with them.
