The input for these functions is the resulting dataframe obtained from the diat_loadData() function, to calculate diversity data using the vegan package Sample data in the examples is taken from:
Nicolosi Gelis, Mar<U+00ED>a Mercedes; Cochero, Joaqu<U+00ED>n; Donadelli, Jorge; G<U+00F3>mez, Nora. 2020. "Exploring the use of nuclear alterations, motility and ecological guilds in epipelic diatoms as biomonitoring tools for water quality improvement in urban impacted lowland streams". Ecological Indicators, 110, 105951. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.105951
Diversity index (Shannons H') is calculated using the vegan package, following:
