Abstract

In the course of a comprehensive survey of rain forest vegetation in the Northern Territory, Australia, population size classes of presumed adults of each species present were censused at 394 mostly small (<2.5 ha) rain forest patches. It is found that populations of adult plants are typically very small; most species were represented by less than 50 adults in 81 percent of patches. Adult population size is dependent on patch size. Of 137 common rain forest species occurring at 10 percent or more sample sites, only 20 percent of species typically occurred in populations of more than 50 adults per patch
