The influence of factors other than pollution on the value of Shannon's diversity index for benthic macro-invertebrates in streams
The effects of six factors on the value of Shannon's diversity index are examined using data collected from the River Cynon, a polluted river in South Wales. Four of these are shown to influence the value of Shannon's diversity index, and it is recommended that these be taken into consider...

| Zusammenfassung: | The effects of six factors on the value of Shannon's diversity index are examined using data collected from the River Cynon, a polluted river in South Wales. Four of these are shown to influence the value of Shannon's diversity index, and it is recommended that these be taken into consideration when interpreting and comparing index values. |
