Abstract
⺠Understory diversity and composition in plantations and other communities was compared. ⺠Diversity was lower in plantations than in native communities at local scales. ⺠Species composition of eucalypt plantations was similar to shrublands when young. ⺠Native forests were the most distinctive community, and harboured the rarest species. ⺠Eucalypt plantations provide low habitat value to support native biodiversity.
