MEASUREMENT

BIOHabitatMetric045
|
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.

BIOHabitatMetric011
|
A community tolerance quotient based on the tolerance of taxa in the sample to alkalinity and sulphates, and the selectivity of taxa in the sample for or against fine substrates and low stream gradients (Winget and Mangum, 1979). This weighted abundance measure ranges from 2 (unpolluted) to 108 (severely polluted).
