TABLE 2.

Results of the iNext.4steps procedure. Step 1: Sample completeness, step 2.1 and 2.2: Asymptotic analysis of species diversity, step 3: Coverage‐based diversity (non‐asymptotic approach), and step 4: Evenness. All the numbers are given for the orders of q = (0, 1, 2) and for all the assemblages: Inner CE, inner FM, outer CE and outer FM.
