Edge-Interior Disparities in Tree Species and Structural Composition of the Kilengwe Forest in Morogoro Region, Tanzania

Table 2

Species richness, diversity indices, and evenness values of the three studied habitats.

Habitats	Observed species richness (±SE)	Jackknife 1 (±SE)	Shannon-Wiener (H^′)	Margalef index (D)	Pielou’s evenness (E)
Edge	29±4^a	51±4^a	3.28±0.19^a	7.64±1.03^a	0.97±0.06
Intermediate	32±2^a	47±2^a	3.34±0.05^a	7.74±0.40^a	0.96±0.02
Interior	47±5^b	68±5^b	3.65±0.11^b	9.86±0.94^b	0.95±0.03

Note: values with different letters indicate significant differences between habitats (Tukey’s HSD test, 𝑃=0.05).
