Czenkanowski s index of similarity<br />

Czekanowski s coefficient (IS c ) is a modification of Sorenson s similarity index that<br />

considers the abundance (cover) of species:<br />

ISc =<br />

m<br />

2 min( xi, yi)<br />

i=1<br />

m<br />

i =1<br />

x<br />

i +<br />

m<br />

yi<br />

i =1<br />

Where the numerator is the sum of minimum cover value for each species (i)<br />

in each pair of plots (x, y).<br />

The denominator is the sum of the cover values for all species in stand x plus<br />

the sum of the cover values for all species in stand y.
