Abstract

A catchword current among naturalists is "biodiversity," a term used to describe the variety and number of organisms present in an area. Biodiversity is one measure of the "health" of an environment, and the term itself is probably a useful one, as 1t can efficiently suggest environmental quality and the complex interrelationship among living things, plant and animal.
