Abstract

Forest, rehabilitation studies were initiated in 1959 on a severely eroded 430-ha land in southern China. This 30-year project has shown that (a) a diverse tropical forest can be re-established on severely degraded sites, (b) an increase in plant diversity leads to an increase in the diversity of other organisms, and (c) increasing ecosystem diversity appears to he related to a decrease in the extent of insect herbivory.
