What is the difference between alpha, beta, and gamma diversity?
Can you explain the difference between alpha, beta, and gamma diversity?
Certainly! Alpha diversity refers to the diversity within a single ecosystem or habitat, meaning the number of different species present in that area. Beta diversity measures the differences in species composition between different ecosystems or habitats, often across geographical regions. Gamma diversity is the total diversity of a landscape and includes all ecosystems or habitats within it.
