Abstract
Data are presented on a series of empirical studies conducted in western Amazonia tropical forests at a wide range of spatial scales (i.e., subcontinental, regional, subhectare and metre), which include patterns of species composition. The different theories on plant diversity which explain the variability of species diversity on the studied scales are discussed.
