Other claims from this paper (3)
- Association Species diversity was highest in the middle range of the pH and height gradient.
- Observation The species-area relation fitted the Preston model with a slope index slightly below the theoretical equilibrium value.
- Association Vegetation varied continuously among quadrats and was governed mainly by pH variation.
