The community richness of bacteria is represented by Sobs index, Chao index, and ACE index, the larger values of which indicate the higher degree of community richness. Bacterial community diversity is represented by the Shannon Index and the Simpson Index. The larger value of Shannon index indicates that the diversity of the community is more abundant, and the larger value of Simpson index indicates lower diversity of the community.
