Terry, how exactly do environmentalists measure biological diversity anyway?

It sounds like one of those terms with no real defined meaning. I mean what do they do say. "this forest is not diverse because it only has 1000 species, but this one is diverse because it has 1001 species??

Or do they just scan the woods and say, "Oh I see an old tree over there, this is a diverse environment"? :-)
