Table 8.3. Three different diversity measures are used to asses the diversity in the plots:

The Simpson index: D = åni (ni - 1) ]/[N(N - 1)] , where ni = the basal area of the ith species, and N = the total basal area. The reciprocal of the Simpson index is used so that the value of the index increases with increasing diversity. Simpson's index is biased towards showing species evenness, equitability is expressed as the index proportion of total number of specieas. The Shannon index: H'= åpi ln pi , where pi is the proportional basal area (ni/N) of the ith species. Shannon's index which is biased towards species richness (Magurran 1988) equitability is expressed as the index proportion of ln to total number of species. The total number of species. This is a simple expression of the numbers of species recorded in each plot.
