Hypothetical scenario: In a vast area of a land-locked town, two distinct forest  formations can be found –

1. forest over limestone formation


2. a lowland tropical forest.

Researchers did an area-random sampling composed of 25 plots measuring 20mx20m for each of the two  forest formations.Do you think the two forest formations have the same diversity index values and  species richness? Why or why not?
