Efficient cataloging of these animals, as a part of rapid biodiversity assessments, is hampered by high species richness, inherent inaccessibility and a strong tendency towards aggregated distribution. Current debate concerning the relative merits of transects (rapid, but at best semi-quantitative) and alternative sampling approaches such as grid-based or randomized placements of monoliths or cores (labor intensive, but statistically preferable) has initiated a search for satisfactory indicator groups or surrogates of below ground faunal diversity. Here, we use well-characterized, forest-derived plant and termite assemblages to show there can be a key role for plant indicators. We cataloged all vascular plant species, plant functional attributes (PFAs), plant functional types (PFTs), and vegetational structure in seven I BOY-designated sites along a gradient of disturbance and land-use intensification in lowland Sumatra, using a rapid survey protocol.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">111</style></section></record></records></xml>
