Biodiversity Monitoring in Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas: Scientific and Methodological Challenges

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Biodiversity is a portmanteau word to indicate the variety of life at all levels from genes to ecosystems, but it is often simplistically equated to species richness; the word ecodiversity has thus been coined to address habitat variety.
