My initial definition of biodiversity: Biodiversity is an area of study/ subject that focuses on specific geographic areas, the ecosystems in those areas, and the variety of life that lives in those ecosystems. Understanding the biodiversity and change in biodiversity in an area can allow scientists to interpret the impact of climate, natural diversity, pollution, and human development on an area.
Edited definition after research: In addition to the definition above, the national wildlife federation https://www.nwf.org/Wildlife/Wildlife-Conservation/Biodiversity.aspxindicates that biodiversity is a wide range of life in an area. According to the website there can be multiple types of biodiversity. There can be species biodiversity, genetic biodiversity, and ecological biodiversity. The definitions and other interesting facts can be found at the website.
