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.
