Question

There are four ecological blocks are given to determine species diversity. Which of the ecological blocks showing the same degree of species richness?

• A. A, B
• B. A, B, C
• C. A, B, C & D
• D. A, B & D

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Species richness gives an idea of the number of different species present in an ecological landscape or area. It basically gives us an idea of the variety present. This parameter does not take into consideration the abundance of a species or the relative abundance of two or more species. Hence, ecological landscapes with the same number of species are said to have the same species richness.

So, the correct answer is 'A, B, C'.
