That link will take you to a word cloud (again):

Here I will (again) define the terms for you.

Percent Error: take more samples, use more transect lines, (Final-Initial/Final)*100

Quadrat: a portable frame, with an internal grid. Used to mark out the number of species in a small area/habitat

Shannon Index: count species

Richness: count species

Monera: a former taxonomic group within the domain Prokaryota - bacteria, archaebacteria, and blue-green algae

Protist: free living or colonial organisms with diverse nutritional and reproductive modes

Fungi: any group of unicellular or multicellular spore producing organisms feeding on organic matter; including molds, yeast, mushrooms, toadstools

Plant:the taxonomic kingdom comprising of all living or extinct plants

Animal: the taxonomic kingdom comprising of all living or extinct animals

Population: all the inhabitants of an area

Density: the degree of compactness of the species

This is the simplest way to understand the Biodiversity of organisms.
