Botanists and plant ecologists sometimes use a quantitative measure called the floristic quality index (FQI) to express the "quality" of a natural area. This standardized tool ... replaces subjective assessments, and although approximate, provides a useful number for comparing various natural areas. FQI is not a stand-alone value, but is used together with other assessments to evaluate the quality of a site.
