A fundamental, ecohydrological basis for niche segregation in plant
... Niche overlap was computed with pair-wise values of Pianka’s index of niche overlap for all combinations of species occurring in 5% or more quadrats at each site (Pianka, 1973). Pianka’s index calculates the niche overlap using an index of resource utilization for each pair of species in the assembl ...
