5. A community located in suburban Pennsylvania has been monitored for several decades to study impacts of human disturbance on the biodiversity of the area. In 1976 a team of researchers quantified the area's plant biodiversity using Simpson's Index of Biodiversity. The area had not yet experienced any significant disturbance and the researchers found the area to have an index of 0.842. After decades of significant disturbance, you have been tasked with updating the area's measure of biodiversity using Simpson's Index. The plant community is pictured below. 奉奉 奉奉 奉 奉 奉 奉奉业 奉身 P- Number Species Number /Total Number Total Number: Ep: D=1- Ep?
