ShannonWienerdiversitetsindeks
The ShannonWiener diversitetsindeks, often shortened to Shannon index or H, is a statistical measure used to quantify the biodiversity of a given ecosystem. It considers both the number of different species present (species richness) and the relative abundance of each species (species evenness). A higher Shannon index value indicates greater biodiversity.
The index is calculated using the formula H = - Σ (pi * ln(pi)), where pi represents the proportion of
The Shannon index is widely applied in ecological research to compare biodiversity across different sites, over
