摘要: (1) The ant fauna of thirty bauxite mines rehabilitated by a range different methods and three forest controls was surveyed in the summer 1978-79. Physical botanical parameters were also measured. (2) Forty-two species ants found areas although many original not yet present. (3) Eight community initially screened canonical analysis. Ant diversity (H') richness to be most useful measures for relating mined area parameters. (4) Multiple regression analysis using as dependent variables revealed that return positively associated with plant diversity, time since rehabilitation, percentage cover litter cover. Presence large logs an important factor. (5) Principal components oridination data suggests richness, rehabilitation age influence composition areas. (6) relevance findings improvement practices is discussed.
