biodiversity (precious) Biodiversity is the natural world around us, and the variety of all of the different kinds of organisms.
The variety of animal and plant life in any environment is known as biodiversity. The term can apply to a small portion of a particular rainforest, the entire Earth itself, or any habitat in between. Biodiversity is of interest to anyone concerned with the welfare of our planet. It is of special interest to those concerned with the environment and the study of living things.
Biodiversity is usually explored at three levels: genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity
They include flowering plants (trees, shrubs, grasses and herbaceous plants), as well as the gymnosperms (which include conifers), ferns and related species, and also the bryophytes (mosses and liverworts).
ecosystem
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in a particular area.

Grasslands are areas dominated by grasses. They occupy about 20% of the land on the earth surface. Grasslands occur in both in tropical and temperate regions where rainfall is not enough to support the growth of trees.
Grasslands are found in areas having well-defined hot and dry, warm and rainy seasons.
he tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long. It is known for its dense canopies of vegetation that form three different layers. The top layer or canopy contains giant trees that grow to heights of 75 m (about 250 ft) or more.\
A temperate forest is a forest found between the tropical and boreal regions, located in the temperate zone. It is the second largest terrestrial biome, covering 25% of the world's forest area, only behind the boreal forest, which covers about 33%.
Deserts are barren areas of land characterised by extremely high or low temperatures, with low rainfall and scarce or no vegetation.
Deserts are examples of terrestrial ecosystems, which are found throughout the world. Neither all deserts are flat, nor do all deserts have cacti or oases. These are regions with a short rainy season. It is scorching in the daytime, and very cold at night in the desert.
An ecosystem is made up of all of the living and nonliving things in an area. This includes all of the plants, animals, and other living things that make up the communities of life in an area. An ecosystem also includes nonliving materials—for example, water, rocks, soil, and sand. A swamp, a prairie, an ocean, and a forest are examples of ecosystems.
Ecosystem Services are the direct and indirect contributions ecosystems (known as natural capital) provide for human wellbeing and quality of life.
This can be in a practical sense, providing food and water and regulating the climate, as well as cultural aspects such as reducing stress and anxiety

Abiotic The term abiotic refers to all the non-living factors present in an ecosystem. Sunlight, water and land, all constitute the abiotic factors.
In biology, abiotic factors can include water, light, radiation, temperature, humidity, atmosphere, acidity, salinity, precipitation, altitude, minerals, tides, rain, dissolved oxygen nutrients, and soil.
example of abiotic
abiotic is non lving
Biotic means alive or living, like an animal. Abiotic means not alive, like water. Biotic and abiotic factors influence ecosystems. Biotic factors can be predation, pollination, or decomposing remains/waste. Abiotic factors can be precipitation, temperature, or the occurrence of natural disasters.
example of biotic
Examples of abiotic factors include sunlight, water, air, humidity, pH, temperature, salinity, precipitation, altitude, type of soil, minerals, wind, dissolved oxygen, mineral nutrients present in the soil, air and water, etc.
