Table 3.
Comparison of fungal taxa diversity in root and leaf samples by using of Chao 1 richness estimate, Shannon diversity index, Simpson index, Evenness and Coverage.
Sample | No. of numbers | No. of fungal taxa | Chao 1 | Shannon | Simpson | Evenness | Coverage (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Root | 252 | 21 | 29.25 | 2.219 | 0.858 | 0.86 | 97.63 |
Leaf | 71 | 13 | 13.31 | 2.208 | 0.848 | 0.73 | 97.14 |
The Chao 1, Shannon’s diversity, Simpson diversity index, Shannon’s evenness and Good’s coverage richness estimators were calculated using the species data.
