Ecotoxicology
Species richness refers to the number of different species present in a given ecosystem or community. It is a key component of biodiversity and helps to assess the health and stability of ecosystems. High species richness typically indicates a well-functioning ecosystem, while low species richness can signal disruptions in ecosystem structure and function, community dynamics, trophic interactions, and ecological risk assessments.
