shdi(df, stand = NULL, species = NULL, abundance = NULL)

Arguments

df	A data.frame, which has three cols: stand, species, abundance. Community matrix should be converted using table2df().
stand, species, abundance	A text to specify each column. If NULL, 1st, 2nd, 3rd column will be used.

Value

A data.frame. Including species richness (s), Shannon's H' (h), Simpson' D (d), Simpson's inverse D (i).

Examples

data(dune, package = "vegan")
df <- table2df(dune)
shdi(df)
