for a tropical lowland area in Sumatra. A total of 51 standard 0.16 ha plots in primary forest, rubber (Hevea brasiliensis)
agroforests and rubber plantations was compared for plot level diversity (average number of species per plot) and landscape
level diversity (species–area curves). Average plot level species richness (11 species) was not significantly different amongst
the three land use types. However at the landscape level the species–area curve for rubber agroforests (also called jungle
rubber) had a significantly higher slope parameter than the curve for rubber plantations, indicating higher beta diversity in
jungle rubber as compared to rubber plantations. Plot level species richness is thus not fully indicative of the (relative) richness of a land use type at the landscape scale because scaling relations differ between land use types.</style></abstract><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">63</style></section></record></records></xml>
