Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Species diversity includes both species richness (the total number of different species in a given area) and species evenness (the relative abundance of each species within that area). The distribution of different species also plays a role in species diversity. Therefore, option E, which states that species diversity is not impacted by species richness, is incorrect.
