Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of all living organisms on Earth, encompassing differences within species, between species, and across ecosystems. Core Aspects of Biodiversity Genetic Diversity: The range of genetic material present in organisms, both within a species and across different species. Species Diversity: The diversity of different species—how many, how varied, and how they interact. This includes both intraspecific (within one species) and interspecific (between species) variation. Ecosystem Diversity: The variety of ecosystems (e.g., forests, deserts, lakes, coral reefs), each hosting unique communities of interacting life forms and environmental processes. See more
