Table 2.
Average Chao1 diversity, Faith's Phylogenetic diversity, Simpson diversity and Shannon diversity, for bacterial samples from five mat types (colors) and stream sediment. Each value represents the average of 1000 iterations, with the standard deviation in parentheses.
| Mat Color | n | Chao1 | PD | Simpson | Shannon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | 28 | 657 (397) | 205 (86) | 0.85 (0.20) | 5.15 (1.57) |
| Green | 23 | 304 (152) | 104 (64) | 0.70 (0.23) | 3.41 (1.58) |
| Orange | 33 | 437 (258) | 152 (70) | 0.72 (0.24) | 3.95 (1.64) |
| Red | 8 | 793 (359) | 255 (58) | 0.93 (0.03) | 5.82 (0.49) |
| Sediment | 37 | 691 (368) | 271 (93) | 0.91 (0.13) | 6.06 (1.45) |
