摘要
Changes in tree species richness and diversity after logging and natural disturbance on small rainforest plots in north Queensland were studied by Nicholson et al. (1988). They found logging had enhanced richness and diversity, which declined in its absence. A re‐evaluation of their data, especially those on the predisturbance condition of these plots, indicates that their conclusions are untenable. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
