Q. B-Diversity is also known as:

  • (A) Within habitat diversity
  • (B) Between habitat diversity
  • (C) Global diversity
  • (D) Ecosystem diversity
Explanation by: Admin

Biodiversity can be classified into three levels:

Alpha (α) Diversity → Within habitat diversity

  • Refers to species diversity within a particular area or ecosystem.

Beta (β) Diversity → Between habitat diversity

  • Measures the change in species composition between different habitats or ecosystems. It helps in understanding how species vary across landscapes.

Gamma (γ) Diversity → Global or ecosystem diversity

  • Refers to the overall diversity of species across multiple ecosystems or an entire region.

Since B-Diversity (β-Diversity) refers to the variation in species composition between different habitats, the correct answer is:
(B) Between habitat diversity.
