Abstract:

Relationships among dominance, diversity and its components and community maturity were statistically evaluated. Dominance and diversity were found to be inversely related. The two components of diversity — richness and equitability were found to be intimately associated with general diversity, and were equally important in governing the overall diversity. Community maturity was negatively correlated with general diversity and its components but was not significantly associated with dominance. The relationships among the expressions of community organization are discussed.
