single MTC community stands out as being particularly higher in species diversity
than another at small scales. Communities exhibit some significant differences
with disturbed sites in the eastern Mediterranean Basin having substantially
higher diversity than other MTC communities. Factors driving community diver-
sity are very different between MTC regions apparently because communities are
structured very differently. This is reflected in marked differences between north-
ern and southern hemisphere plant communities in species-area relationships,
dominance-diversity patterns and species-abundance curves.
