Abstract
Traditional ecological theory has stressed the importance of competitive interactions in regulating species richness. Recent research has transcended this viewpoint by considering the role of stochastic processes, mosaic phenomena and nonequilibrium conditions in the regulation of richness. This growing body of work indicates that the determinants of plant species richness may vary predictably over different spatial scales.Year: 1987 PMID： 21227857 DOI： 10.1016/0169-5347(87)90005-X
