Biodiversity

Biodiversity

Record and monitor the variety of life in a particular habitat.

Biodiversity Parameters

This page provides a detailed explanation of each parameter used in our biodiversity monitoring process. These metrics help us understand the variety and variability of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem.

Species Count

Unit: Integer

A simple count of the number of different species in a given area, indicating the richness of an ecosystem.

Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H')

Unit: Dimensionless

Characterizes species diversity by accounting for both species abundance and evenness. Higher values indicate greater diversity.

Observations

Unit: JSON object

Detailed observational data, including species lists and counts, crucial for in-depth analysis and tracking changes over time.

Location Type

The type of area (e.g., industrial, residential) where the measurement was taken, providing context for biodiversity levels.

Time of Day

Categorizes when the observation was made (e.g., day, night) to correctly interpret the activity of time-dependent species.
