Rezumat	Forest biodiversity indices quantify species richness, evenness, and overall diversity in forest ecosystems. Rooted in information theory (Shannon) and statistical ecology (Simpson, Magurran), these indices compress complex multispecies data into interpretable metrics. Applied to forest inventory data, biodiversity indices guide conservation planning, assess ecological health, and track responses to management or disturbance.	Forest inventory sampling is a systematic approach to estimate forest characteristics such as timber volume, species composition, and biomass by surveying a representative subset of trees rather than conducting exhaustive censuses. Developed by Loetsch and colleagues in the 1970s, the method applies statistical sampling theory to forest assessment and remains the foundation for sustainable forest management and resource monitoring worldwide.
