English term or phrase: species ranking
*Species Ranking*
A measure of the overall dominance pattern in the sampling area may be achieved by ranking the top species per station according to abundance, giving a rank score of 10 to the most abundant species, decreasing to 1 for the tenth most abundant species, and summing these scores for all stations to provide an overall dominance score for each species...
... For those species ranked in the top ten, the fidelity of the species ranking can be assessed by comparing the actual rank score with the maximum possible score (thus 10 multiplied by number of stations for the top rank, etc.) for that rank as a proportion...

Il senso di quel "ranking" mi è chiaro, ma non trovo la traduzione più calzante in questo contesto. Classificazione?

Grazie mille!

ordinamento gerarchico delle specie
Explanation:
direi così, il tipo di "gerarchia" lo chiarisce il contesto.

es.:

Questi gruppi, più propriamente denominati taxa (singolare taxon), non hanno né la stessa grandezza nè la stessa importanza diagnostica nella definizione delle varie specie, per cui non sono fine a se stessi ma fanno parte di un preciso ordinamento gerarchico di categorie tassonomiche [...]“
