BIOHabitatMetric046

Compares diversity by accounting for both richness and evenness of the sample. Generally this metric scores between 0 and 4.5. A higher score represents higher diversity. It is not used to compare sites, however since it is affected by changes in both the number of taxa and the relative abundance of those taxa.
