The background for my PhD research is that biodiversity loss in Indonesia is alarming, both by loss of overall habitat (‘deforestation’) and by loss of quality of remaining forests. Rubber agroforests have become a major reservoir for the original diversity of lowland forests. However, data refer only to ‘plot level’ analysis “The objective of my research therefore is to assess the potential of rubber agroforests as refuge for regeneration of forest woody species, looking at both plot and landscape scale diversity. The data set was collected to characterize RAF richness as well as differences with natural forest.”
