Gamma diversity (γ-diversity) is a measure of biodiversity. It refers to the total biodiversity over a large area or region. It is the total of α and β diversity. According to Whittaker (1972), gamma diversity is the richness in species of a range of habitats in a geographic area (e.g.,a landscape, an island) and it is consequent on the alpha diversity of the individual communities and the range of differentiation or beta diversity among them. Like alpha diversity, it is a quality which simply has magnitude, not direction and can be represented by a single number (a scalar). The internal relationship between alpha, beta and gamma diversity can be represented as
β = γ / α
What else can I help you with?
What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.
What type of nuclear decay produces energy instead of a particle?
Gamma decay produces energy in the form of gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic radiation, instead of particles. Gamma decay occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus transitions to a lower energy state by releasing gamma rays.
How would you contain a gamma particle?
You can't. Gamma can pass through several feet of steel. For each inch of steel gamma rays are attenuated by 50%. Normal mirrors and lenses have no effect on gamma.
Does Gamma decay change the atomic number?
No, gamma decay does not change the atomic number of an atom. Gamma decay involves the release of high-energy electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays) from the nucleus of an atom, but it does not affect the number of protons in the nucleus, which determines the atomic number.
Which of the three kinds of radiation is most penetrating?
Gamma radiation is the most penetrating of the three types of radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma). Gamma radiation can penetrate through the human body and thick shielding, making it the most difficult to shield against.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
What is another name for gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength and therefore high frequency and high energy per photon. Gamma radiation is also known as gamma rays.
When was Sigma Gamma Tau created?
Tau Gamma Sigma was created on 1969-01-17.
Why do we use gamma ray machine?
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.
What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.
When was Gamma Alpha created?
Alpha Gamma was created in 1867.
Are there problems with gamma rays?
no gamma rays are the best
What is a gamma nail?
do gamma nails explode in cremators
Which ray is the strongest?

How are gamma radiation formed?
How gamma radiation is formed
What is gamma particle symbolized by?
γ (gamma) is a photon.
