| 11978272772 | Species Richness | The species richness is based solely on the number of species found in the given area and does not reflect the relative dominance of species. formula: R = s | 0 | |
| 11978286576 | Shannon-Wiener Index (H) | This index is determined by both the number of species and the even distribution of individuals among those species (relative dominance). It indicates the degree of uncertainty of predicting the species of a given individual picked at random from the community. In other words, if the diversity is high, you have a poor chance of correctly predicting the species of the next individual picked at random. | 1 | |
| 11978292389 | Shannon-Wiener Index Formula | Pi (relative abundance) = ni/N ni = number of individuals in species i N = total number of individuals in all species. H (the uncertainty of predicting the species) will range from 0 for a community with a single species, to over 7 for a very diverse community. |  | 2 |
| 11978317261 | Species Evenness (E) | Using species richness (R) and the Shannon-Wiener index (H), you can also compute a measure of evenness. The formula is: E = H/ln(R) Evenness (E) is a measure of how similar the abundance of different species are. | 3 | |
