Answer: b) The evaluation of habitat quality and changes to understand their effects on species and ecosystems
9. What does “long-term monitoring” involve in biodiversity conservation?
a) Observing species only once
b) Continuous or repeated observations and data collection over extended periods to track changes and trends in biodiversity
c) Short-term studies with immediate results
d) Ignoring seasonal variations in species populations
Answer: b) Continuous or repeated observations and data collection over extended periods to track changes and trends in biodiversity
10. Why is “data standardization” important in biodiversity assessments?
a) To ensure that data collected from different sources is compatible and comparable, allowing for accurate analysis and decision-making
b) To limit data collection to specific regions
c) To focus only on qualitative data
d) To exclude different data collection methods
Answer: a) To ensure that data collected from different sources is compatible and comparable, allowing for accurate analysis and decision-making
