Estimated gamma diversity for different Hill numbers and forest communities. q = 0: species richness; q = 1: Shannon diversity; q = 2: Simpson diversity. The red colour represents the estimated gamma diversity when all communities are considered for estimation. Yellow-green: Saraca dives + Calamus tetradactylus community (SCt). Green: Sterculia lanceolata + Chloris barbata community (SCb). Light-blue: Ficus superba + Acanthus ebracteatus community (FAe). Pink: Clausena excavata + Desmos cochinchinensis community (CDc). Graphs were extrapolated to a sample size of 90 plots.
