Value Of Biodiversity Wikipedia. Values of biodiversity can be categorized as follows. One academic paper by de groot et.
Among other factors the diversity of all living things depends on temperature precipitation altitude soils geography and the presence of other species the study of the spatial distribution of organisms species and ecosystems is the science of biogeography. Species richness is a simple count of species. Food biodiversity can be considered from two main perspectives.
Biodiversity is not evenly distributed rather it varies greatly across the globe as well as within regions.
Al which synthesized more than 300 scholarly works collectively evaluating the 10 main biomes shows that the total value of ecosystem services is considerable and ranges between 490 int year for the total bundle of ecosystem services that can potentially be provided by an average hectare of open oceans to almost 350 000 int year for the potential services of an average hectare of coral reefs. Altogether the food commercial forestry and ecotourism industries could lose us 338 billion per year if the loss of biodiversity continues at its current pace. Species richness is a simple count of species. Beyond the value biodiversity has in regulating and stabilizing ecosystem processes there are direct economic consequences of losing diversity in certain ecosystems and in the world as a whole.
