摘要

Biodiversity is one of the characteristics of life on earth that determines both the efficiency of function-ing and the very possibility of the existence of different populations, ecosystems, and the biosphere as a whole. The problem of conserving and monitoring biodiversity at the level of genes, species, and ecosys-tems is becoming more and more urgent due to the growth in the anthropogenic effect on the biosphere. After more than 170 countries signed the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992, greater attention has been devoted to the study, conservation, and sustain-able use of biological resources in the modern stage in different countries. The inventory and classification of biodiversity are among the most important problems in regard to these studies.
