APPENDIX F 



SPECIES RICHNESS AND DIVERSITY MEASURES FOR EACH PLOT 



The measures presented here are as described in Hill (1973) 

 and are all in units of number of species: 



N(0) = the number of all species on the plot (e.g., = 

 species richness) 



N(l) = the number of abundant species on the plot (e.g., = 

 base of the natural logarithms to the power of the 

 Shannon Index) 



N(2) = the number of very abundant species on the plot 

 (e.g., = reciprocal of the Simpson Index) 



For those communities represented by more than one plot, 

 means and standard errors (SE) of means for each measure are also 

 provided.
