Impacts of the Replacement of Native Woodland with Exotic Pine Plantations on Leaf-Litter Invertebrate Assemblages: A Test of a Novel Framework
Figure 1
Values of species richness () for multiple taxonomic components of insect and arachnid assemblages in native eucalypt woodland and exotic pine plantations. (a) insects in autumn, (b) insects in winter, (c) arachnids in autumn, (d) arachnids in winter. Orders numbered on graphs are , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . In (a), Orders 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 11 are absent from pine plantation sites (zero values on -axis) but represented in eucalypt woodland sites by a small number of species. In (b), Orders 1 and 6 are absent from pine plantation sites but represented in eucalypt woodland sites by a small number of species. Note that in (b), Orders 5 and 8 are absent from eucalypt woodland sites but represented by a small number of species in pine plantation sites. In (c), Order 15 is absent from pine plantation sites but represented in eucalypt woodland sites by a small number of species.
