Biodiversity Aa Aa Ecologists are interested in quantifying different kinds of biodiversity. In each of the two studies outlined here, which kind of biodiversity are ecologists studying? Ecologists examine several small areas, called plots, in a Minnesota grassland. In each plot, they list the plant species and place each species into one of five categories. Each category represents a set of ecological processes that are important in a grassland ecosystem. For example, the nitrogen-fixing category includes plants that convert nitrogen in the atmosphere into a nitrogen compound that all of the plants are able to use. The ecologists then compare ecological characteristics among the plots, noting which plot includes plants in more or fewer of these Ecologists examine satellite imagery of South America. By comparing the wavelengths of light reflected by the vegetation, they can classify the vegetation in different regions of the continent. For example, grasslands, deciduous forests, and evergreen forests all reflect light differently in different wavelengths. The ecologists, therefore, are able to map and quantify the extent of the various types of plant
