With the aid of a new method named DIVDROP, the process of changes in diversity can be analysed as a trend. The importance of the species can be estimated in shaping the great changes in the value of the diversity. The method is demonstrated on two vegetational examples: 1. on algological samples taken in 30 consecutive days from Lake Balaton and 2. on 20 consecutive releves of Salvio-Festucetum along a forest road. In both cases a large proportion of diversity changes proved to be satisfactory explained by using the DIVDROP method. A computer programme written in FORTRAN-IV language is part of the BP programme package of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. With 12 figures.
