Biodiversity is a measure of the variety of different species living in a habitat. The greater the number of different species in a habitat, the greater its biodiversity.

Biodiversity is the variation in living forms and can be measured in ways that include the number of species, functional variety of species, evenness of species distribution or genetic diversity.
