Unexpectedly high Shannon diversity values in QIIME 2

Good morning @Sheylle_Green,

Welcome to the forums! Thank you for posting all the commands you ran!

Yes, this is expected in older versions of Qiime2 because it uses a different log base for the Shannon calculation.

Strangely, very few people notice this or ask about it, so there's not a lot of docs to find. I wrote this up a few years ago


That's so valid!
