 Calculate
• Importance Index Value (IVI)
• Abundance
• Diversity
• Richness
• Evenness
• Dominance
 IVI

• IVI = Relative Density +

R. Dominance + R. Frequency
 Relative Density

• Relative Density = (No of

individual species plants in all
replication / No of total plants
in all replication) * 100
 Relative Dominance
• Relative Dominance = Total basal area of a
individual species in all replication / Total
basal area of all species in all replication) *
100
 Relative Frequency
• Relative Frequency = (Frequency of
individual Species / Total of all
species Frequency) * 100

Where Frequency of species = (No of

quadrate where species occurred /
Total no of quadrate studies) * 100
 Abundance

• Abundance = Total Plants of a

species in all replications /
Species occurred in a
quadrates
 Richness

• Richness = No of Species find

in all replications
 Diversity

• Diversity = Sum of( (Total plans of

a species/Total plants in Plot) *
Natural Logarithm of (Total plants
of a species/Total plants in plot) *
-1)
 Richness

• Richness = No of Species in
Plot
 Evenness

• Evenness = Diversity (H')/Ln(S)

• Where S = Total Number of
Species in Plot (Richness)
 Dominance

• Dominance = Sum((n/N)^2)
Where ‘n’ is: Total plants of
individual species in all
replications and ‘N’ is: Total
plants of all species in all
replications
