Biodiversity
1. Biodiversity: Describes the number and variety of all forms of
life.
2. Ecological Biodiversity: is the diversity of ecosystems, natural
communities and habitats.
3. Biodiversity Index: Are measures of species diversity
expressed as ratios between numbers of species and
“importance values” (numbers, biomass, productivity and so on)
of individuals.
4. Species: An individual belonging to a group of organisms (or
the entire group itself) having common characteristics and
(usually) are capable of mating with one another to produce
fertile offspring. Failing that (for example the Liger) It has
to be ecologically and recognizably the same.
5. Species Richness: Pertains to a number of different species
represent in a given ecological community.
6. Species Evenness: Evenness is a measure of the relative
abundance of the different species making up the richness of
an area.
7. Simpson’s Index: The index is a measure of diversity. In
ecology, it is often used to quantify the biodiversity of a
habitat. It takes into account the number of species present,
as well as the abundance of each species.
8. Biosphere: The part of the earth (or planet) that is capable
of supporting life.
9. Green Infrastructure: Green infrastructure uses vegetation,
soils, and natural processes to manage water and create
healthier urban environments
10.
Rain Garden: rain gardens (also known as bioretention or
bioinfiltration cells) are shallow, vegetated basins that collect
and absorb runoff from rooftops, sidewalks, and streets.
11.
Invasive species: as an organism (plant, animal, fungus,
or bacterium) that is not native and has negative effects on
our economy, our environment, or our health.
12.
Native Species: Those that do live in the same place
they are originally from. Can be either endemic (found only
within a particular region) or indigenous (found both within the
region and elsewhere).
13. Species diversity: Number of different species in the
biosphere
14. Red list: a record of current species facing unusually high
risks of extinction
15. Biome: a major land ecosystem having a distinct combination
of plants and animals
16. Habitat: the environment in which specified organisms live
17. Global Warming: an increase in the earth's average
temperature
18. Natural Community: Soils, landforms, plants and animals,
along with other factors, combine in unique ways that make up
the land
19. Ecosystem: A complex system that comprises living organisms
and their environment, which interact as a unit
20. Bioremediation: "Remediate" means to solve a problem, and
"bio-remediate" means to use biological organisms to solve an
environmental problem such as contaminated soil or groundwater.
21. Biotic: Living factors in the environment
22. Abiotic: Non-living factors in the environment
23. Biogeochemical Cycle: the movement (or cycling) of matter
through a system
24. Nitrogen Cycle: The circulation of nitrogen; nitrates from
the soil are absorbed by plants which are eaten by animals that
die and decay returning the nitrogen back to the soil.The
environmental circulation of [[nitrogen, which passes through the
food chain, the soil and the open air environment.
25. Water Cycle: the natural sequence through which water
passes into the atmosphere as water vapor, precipitates to earth
in liquid or solid form, and ultimately returns to the atmosphere
through evaporation.
