Leaf BudAn undeveloped shoot
that a leaves grow from
A leaf bud is composed of a short stemwith embryonic leaves. Leaf buds often are less plump and more pointed thanflower buds.

Species Diversity
Shows you the number of species in an area and their relative abundance.
D = (n / N)2 Key
n = # of particular species
N = # of all species D = value of
diversity

Species richness: The number of species in an environment

Species evenness- How equal the number of animals in a species are compared with other species
Ex.) 42 foxes and 1000 dogs are not even, but 42 foxes and 40 dogs are.

One of several diversity indices used to measure diversity in categorical data. It is simply the Information entorpy of
the distribution, treating species as symbols and their relative population sizes as the probability.
Shannon- Diversity Index
