variety of life in a place
The number and variety of different living things, such as plants and animals, in a place or on Earth.
Schema d'uso:
[place] has [level] biodiversity
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse 'biodiversity' with general words like 'nature' or 'environment', but 'biodiversity' specifically refers to how many different kinds of living things are present. Another common mistake is treating 'biodiversity' as a countable noun (e.g., 'many biodiversities'); in standard use it is almost always uncountable: 'high biodiversity', 'loss of biodiversity'.
