Fig 1. Correlations of habitat specialists’ rankings with algorithmic rankings, for heathland.

Fig 1

Correlations between rank-scores given by habitat specialists to 12 examples of EUNIS class F4 (Temperate shrub heathland) and rank scores for metrics based on algorithms applied to the same examples: Species richness; Simpson diversity; Scarcity, −1 × UK prevalence of least-prevalent species present; number of positive indicator-species; −1 × number of negative indicator-species; number of positive indicator-species minus number of negative indicator-species; subshrub cover; greatest Czekanowski similarity to corresponding National Vegetation Classification (NVC) subcommunities; Infertility, −1 × mean Ellenberg N score. Tau, Kendall’s Tau statistic.
