It includes ecosystem diversity, species diversity and genetic diversity.

High plant diversity (9,000 species almost half Europe s total).

The species diversity of pelagic ecosystems is low compared to benthic ecosystems.

In general, the species diversity of EOMZs is not well studied.26

Small island developing States are noted for their species diversity and endemism.

These plants occur in great diversity, over 28,000 species around the world.

Thirteen species highest diversity we can find in one single area in Africa.

There is evidence, however, that considerable terrestrial species diversity exists in island countries.

(e) The management and conservation of forest resources and the diversity of species

Thirteen species highest diversity we can find in one single area in Africa.

Genetic diversity refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species.

Below this depth, the biomass of pelagic organisms decreases exponentially and species diversity also apparently decreases steadily.

Species diversity and the presence or absence of individual species or communities have a large influence on processes related to the major biogeochemical cycles in the oceans.

Located on the edge of the Eastern Himalaya biodiversity hotspot, the park combines high species diversity and visibility.

The diversity of species around hydrothermal vents is low, with about 500 described species, but levels of endemism in these habitats are high (more than 90 per cent).

The value of the diversity of genes, species or ecosystems per se should not be confused with the value of a particular component of that diversity for human needs.

Species diversity generally increases to the transition between the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones and then decreases with increasing depth.

And I believe that in the same way that we need species diversity to ensure that the planet can go on, so we need this diversity of affection and diversity of family in order to strengthen the ecosphere of kindness.

The diversity and levels of endemism of species associated with such biogenic reefs are poorly understood and require urgent investigation.

Species diversity, for example, is valuable because the presence of a variety of species helps to increase the capability of an ecosystem to be resilient in the face of a changing environment.

Many Parties highlighted the importance of preserving genetic resources and biological diversity, exploring drought tolerant ecotypes and establishing migration corridors for species.

RSP together with the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Global Invasive Species Programme organized a workshop from 27 to 29 June 2005 to develop a joint programme of work on marine invasive species.

It is likely that this group originated in northern Central America, where the greatest number of species and diversity between them is found.

The Initiative facilities collect vegetation and temperature data to identify trends in species diversity and temperature and assess and predict losses in biodiversity.

UNESCO IOC has an action plan which was prepared in response to the Convention on Biological Diversity, with particular reference to marine species.

(b) Cooperating for the preservation of biological diversity, by the use of better methods for assessment of marine diversity and identification of endangered species, critical coastal and ocean habitats and the need for establishment of protected areas

The signatories agreed to conserve biological diversity, by saving species and their habitats, and to use biological resources (e.g., forests) in a sustainable manner.

You walk down the street in any big city, you travel like that, and you are amazed at the diversity in the human species.

Famous for its diversity, human diversity.

But looking around the world at the diversity of humans, he said, Well, you know, we seem to come in discreet sub species or categories.

Indonesia is one of Coral Triangle countries with the world's greatest diversity of coral reef fish with more than 1,650 species in eastern Indonesia only.

If you look at nucleotide diversity, which is more genetics that are passed on through parents, you can see that basking sharks, if you look at the first study, was an order of magnitude less diversity than other shark species.

Biodiversity can be diminished either if the diversity itself is reduced, such as through the extinction of a species, or if the potential of the components of diversity to provide a particular service is diminished, such as through unsustainable harvesting.

Pollinators participate in sexual reproduction of many plants, by ensuring cross pollination, essential for some species, or a major factor in ensuring genetic diversity for others.

In the bathypelagic zone, diversity of pelagic species appears to peak at around 1,000 metres partially because the mesopelagic and bathypelagic faunas mix at these depths.

There is therefore an urgent requirement to assess the distribution of biogenic structures and associated communities on seamounts to identify which areas harbour significant species diversity.

They're absolutely critical ecosystems, they clean air, they clean water, they sequester large amounts of greenhouse gases, and they're home to a huge diversity of species.

Play increases creativity and resilience, and it's all about the generation of diversity diversity of interactions, diversity of behaviors, diversity of connections.

13. Local, national and regional development will be based on the sustainable utilization and management of the earth apos s resources and on protection of the structure, functions and diversity of natural systems, on which the human species and other species depend.

In addition, IUCN published, in 1993, Biological Diversity and the Law, which would assist States in implementing the part of the Convention dealing with species and ecosystem conservation.

And the limiting step here wasn't the unknown diversity of life, but rather the taxonomic specialists who can identify and catalog these species that became the limiting step.

At the same time, an individual component of that diversity, such as a particular species of fish, may be valuable as a biological resource for human consumption or use.
