Table 7

Species richness, evenness, and diversity indices of plant community types.

Vegetation parameters	Community type
	C1	C2	C3	C4
Species richness	102	77	93	70
H′	3.8	3.6	3.7	3.5
Shannon evenness	0.7	0.7	0.7	0.9
Basal area (m^2)/ha^−1	58.55	48.82	64.64	76.3
Density (ha^−1)	1532	1018	1478	1309
Seedling density (ha^−1)	3349	3087	4431	3804
