A Biodiversity Index Calculator helps measure the biodiversity within a particular habitat or ecosystem. Commonly used indices include the Simpson's Diversity Index and the Shannon-Wiener Index. These indices consider the number of species present (species richness) and the abundance of each species (species evenness).
Features of the Biodiversity Index Calculator:
- Input Fields:
- List of species and their respective counts.
- Output:
- Simpson's Diversity Index.
- Shannon-Wiener Index.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter the name and count for the first species.
- Click the "Add Another Species" button to add more species input fields as needed.
- Enter the names and counts for all additional species.
- Click the "Calculate Biodiversity Index" button to see the Simpson's Diversity Index and Shannon-Wiener Index.
The result will display the calculated biodiversity indices, providing a measure of the biodiversity within the specified habitat or ecosystem based on the input values.
