Abstract

The influence of soil fertility on species diversity between Tekam Forest Reserve (TFR) and Pasoh Forest Reserve (PFR) is discussed. TFR has mainly volcanic derived soil while PFR soil comprises shale and alluvial deposits. The former is species poor compared to PFR. The difference is rather a function of geological formation than soil series per se. A Competition-Domination-Suppression hypothesis is advanced to explain for the difference in species diversity in the two reserves.
