Species diversity depends on both species richness and species evenness.Species richness is the number of different species living in a particular area.Species evenness is a comparison of the numbers of individuals of each species living in a community.A community is all the populations of all the organisms in a particular habitat.Two areas could have different species biodiversity even if they have the same species.Whenever one species dominates, the biodiversity is lower.
