Shannon diversity is an index of community diversity symbolized by H and represented by the equation H = - [(pA ln pA) + (pB ln pB) + (pC ln pC) + . . .], where A, B, C . . . are the species in the community, p is the relative abundance of each species, and ln is the natural logarithm.
La diversidad de Shannon (H) es un índice de diversidad de comunidad que considera el número y la abundancia relativa de especies.
