摘要: As one moves from higher latitudes towards the equator, structure of well-watered climax vegetation becomes progressively more complex (Walter, 1984). Increased structural complexity is manifested in several ways. The number vertically superimposed crowns seen profile increases systematically, while additional growth forms, such as lianes, epiphytes and stranglers, join ensemble at low (Terborgh, 1985b). Accompanying these other trends a marked increase overall community diversity. striking floristic richness tropical has drawn scientific attention than any issue (Whitmore, 1984; Hubbell Foster, 1986; Gentry, 1988). Since plant diversity related to area, it consequently horizontal dimension forest that been investigated most thoroughly.
