Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.

5. A community located in suburban Pennsylvania has been monitored for several decades to study impacts of human disturbance on the biodiversity of the area. In 1976 a team of researchers quantified the area's plant biodiversity using Simpson's Index of Biodiversity. The area had not yet experienced any significant disturbance and the researchers found the area to have an index of 0.842. After decades of significant disturbance, you have been tasked with updating the area's measure of biodiversity using Simpson's Index.
