Hello everyone here. We have a question telling us the number of species present in an area is called species blank. A diversity. Species diversity is the number and relative abundance of species found in a given biological organization. So A. Is incorrect. Be richness? Species richness is the number of species present in an area, so B is correct. See evenness. Species evenness is the distribution of abundance across the species in a community, so C. Is incorrect, and D abundance. This is the number of individuals per species, so D. Is incorrect. So our answer here is be richness. Thank you for watching. Bye.
