Biodiversity assessment is the process of evaluating and measuring the variety and abundance of different species within a specific ecosystem or geographic area. This research area typically involves conducting systematic surveys and collecting data on species richness, population sizes, genetic diversity, and ecological interactions. The goal of biodiversity assessment is to understand and quantify the overall health and functioning of an ecosystem, and to inform conservation and management strategies to protect and preserve biodiversity. Researchers may use a variety of methods, including field surveys, remote sensing, DNA barcoding, and statistical analyses to assess biodiversity in different ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, oceans, and grasslands.
