PPT-5.3 Classification of biodiversity

Understanding The binomial system of names for species is universal among biologists and has been agreed and developed at a series of congresses When species are discovered they are given scientific names . Marine and coastal habitats include coral reefs mangrove forests sea grass beds estuaries hydrothermal vents seamounts and soft sediments on the ocean 64258oor deep below the surface More than just a valuable source of food the ocean is one of the l Agricultural biodiversity includes ecosystems animals plants and microorganisms related to food and agriculture Today most species of crops and domesticated livestock are the result of thousands of years of human intervention such as selective breed What is Biodiversity?. All living things in a food web are connected.. If the numbers of one species are affected it affects the numbers of all other species in the food web..

Our hypothesis was that if there is a change from freshwater to saltwater, then the tidal plant species in each area will differ. The data collected from our experiment helped support our hypothesis. In our findings we saw that in the freshwater location, there was a greater amount of biodiversity and the plants were generally larger. On the other hand, we saw that in the saltwater location, the banks had less biodiversity and consisted with only Phragmites. One explanation for this is for the fact that the abundance of freshwater in the freshwater location allowed for a large variety of large plants to live in this area. However, only a thin layer of freshwater on the surface of the water was present at the saltwater location, which minimized the diversity of plant life that could live in this area. This minimized the competition in this area, allowing it to be overrun by Phragmites plants. . Ari-Pekka . Auvinen. Finnish Environment Institute. 2016 . Eionet. . Workshop. | . NRCs .
