This is excellent stat software for diversity estimates. Includes so many estimates for statistical estimation of species richness.
Use their seedbank example data set to learn techniques and be selective on what you need and want. Incl bootstrap estimates, classic Sørensen incidence-based (qualitative) sample similarity index, Chao's Jaccard Raw (uncorrected for unseen species) Abundance-based similarity index etc. Too many to mention. Excellent package. Takes a little time to learn how to use, as said above best to use their example data set provided to learn what to do.
