Discussion Based on the data at Tables 4c.2 and 4c.3‚ it is evident that the tropical rainforest has higher species richness than the tropical grassland ecosystem. However‚ when based in the indices on Diversity‚ Similarity and Dominance in the tropical grassland and tropical rainforest data‚ the Simpson Indices favor the data for the tropical rainforest as more diverse than the tropical grassland. The Simpson Indices‚ as defined in Cuevas et. al (2012)‚ is based on dominance and as the number of
