The Shannon index is an information statistic index, which means it assumes all species are represented in a sample and that they are randomly sampled.

What is primary succession?
Primary succession is the beginning step of ecological succession after an extreme disturbance, which usually occurs in an environment devoid of vegetation and other organisms.
