Hello list,

I have a felling this is a generic error but nonetheless, it has been
bugging me extensively. If anyone can chip in, I would most appreciate.

I'm trying to calculate expected species richness, following Kindt&Coe Tree
diversity analysis from my dataset but I get the following error:

> divjack <- diversityresult(PoCom, index="Jack.1")
Error in round(result, digits = digits) :
  Non-numeric argument to mathematical function

PoCom is a community data.frame with rows as locations and columns as
species (as in test dataset called "dune" in the book mentioned earlier).
Here is a head(PoCom) and first few lines of str(PoCom):
