Simpson’s Diversity Index �Attempts to quantify the diversity (variety) of an ecosystem. �There are two components: Evenness Richness
![Evenness Evenness is a measure of the relative abundance of the different species within Evenness �Evenness is a measure of the relative abundance of the different species within](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image/42790b925a1734d5010a871a31b85dfc/image-3.jpg)
Evenness �Evenness is a measure of the relative abundance of the different species within an area. (Same amount of each kind of organism) �When the numbers of each type of species is even, the value for the Simpson Diversity Index will be larger.
![Richness variety Richness is a measure of the number of kinds of species Richness = variety �Richness is a measure of the number of kinds of species](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image/42790b925a1734d5010a871a31b85dfc/image-4.jpg)
Richness = variety �Richness is a measure of the number of kinds of species �More species is “richer” so the value for the index will be higher.
