Comparative Analysis of Understorey Floristic Diversity and Carbon Stocks in Poorly and Intensively Managed Tectona grandis Plantations

Table 3

Overall understorey species similarity in life forms in the intensively and poorly managed Tectona grandis plantation.

Life forms	Unique species		Shared species	Sorenson’s coefficient similarity index
	Intensively managed	Poorly managed
Trees	23	5	12	0.46
Grasses	0	6	4	0.57
Shrubs	2	1	2	0.57
Climbers	11	3	6	0.46
Herbs	5	2	2	0.36
Overall species	41	17	26	0.47

SCSI <0.5 is considered different (dissimilar) in species composition.
