what is shanon diversity index? what does the change in it's value mean?

OpenStudy (trancenova):

Well this is one of those indices for measure diversity, that is it takes into account both evenness and richness of species (well, and abundance). A greater evenness and richness will increase the value of this diversity index, so the higher the value the more diverse. The best websites I can find on this are: http://www.wcsmalaysia.org/analysis/diversityIndexMenagerie.htm#Shannon and (sorry about the massive link) https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:vkLD6OzQivEJ:www.instruction.greenriver.edu/nlane/spring2008/Week%25202/Shannon%2520Diversity%2520Index.doc+www.instruction.greenriver.edu/nlane/spring2008&hl=en&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESh7U525d-tX8-jtPofXSJ85LAJEvCfNxgxH59FC7TM9yQQrt8WhZvmVPCWlSUgj42qSABdHf-HlvnTshkjNcub7qB5x8raPC5Uab9qlWFUajMJjyhOhoLXoENDjObaqV47cLoob&sig=AHIEtbT4t5Q41ZiieezJWzNAuWhXTsRq9w
