Alpha diversity (or species richness), the most commonly referenced measure of species diversity, refers to the total number of species found in a particular biological community, such as a lake or a forest.

This scale-dependent process can be described with different diversity metrics, some of which we will explore in this chapter; others will be introduced later.
