Abstract
Tree diversity in sub-montane and lower montane primary rain forests in Central Sulawesi
Highlights
A survey of plant species diversity and endemism across five major Malesian islands has indicated that the island of Sulawesi is intermediate for these measures (Roos et al 2004)
We present a large number of new taxonomic records for Sulawesi or the Central Sulawesi province compared to the Checklist of woody plants of Sulawesi (Keßler et al 2002)
The two primary forest study sites are located in Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Summary
A survey of plant species diversity and endemism across five major Malesian islands has indicated that the island of Sulawesi is intermediate for these measures (Roos et al 2004). This is remarkable, because one would expect at least high endemism rates due to the isolation of the Wallacean island from the Sunda Shelf during the Quaternary period (Primack & Corlett 2006). Additional collections, especially from remote and primary forest areas in Sulawesi, are needed to further our knowledge of the island’s plant diversity. We present a large number of new taxonomic records for Sulawesi or the Central Sulawesi province compared to the Checklist of woody plants of Sulawesi (Keßler et al 2002)
