Richness (S) is the total number of species in an ecosystem. Richness does not take into account the number of individuals, proportion, or distribution of each species within the ecosystem. Based on the species list below, what is the richness of this ecosystem? Species list: Wildebeest, Warthog, Elephant, Zebra, Hippo, Impala, Lion, Baboon, Warbler, Crane S =

Respuesta :

the richness of this ecosystem is: Given that there are a total of 73 animals (abundance) in the ecosystem.

Therefore, to calculate the abundance of wildebeest (3) in the ecosystem

= 3/ 73 = 0.0411 (Pi).

taking natural logarithm of Pi = ln (Pi) = - 3.19 We calculate all the values for each species in the same manner and tabulate it as given below:

SN Pi * In (Pi) -0.13 1 In (Pi) -3.19 -3.19 -3.60 2 -0.13 Pi = A/T 0.0411 0.0411 0.0274 0.0137 0.0137 3 -4.29 4 5 Abundance

The number of different species represented in an ecological community, landscape, or region is referred to as species richness. Species richness is simply a count of species; it does not take into account species abundances or relative abundance distributions.An ecosystem is a geographical location wherein plants, animals, as well as other life forms, in addition to climate and countryside, live in harmony to establish a living bubble.
