To represent ideas or explanations related to biodiversity, one effective model is the **Biodiversity Index**. This tool quantifies the variety of species in an ecosystem, allowing for comparisons between different environments or changes over time.
Another useful model is the **Ecosystem Services Framework**, which categorizes the benefits provided by biodiversity, such as provisioning (food, water), regulating (climate regulation, disease control), cultural (recreational, spiritual), and supporting services (nutrient cycling, soil formation).
Using these models helps visualize and understand the complexity of biodiversity and its importance to ecosystem health and human well-being.
