Relative to Australian heath and South African fynbos, these coastal sage scrub and chap- arral sites have similar species richness at the scale of 1 m2 and 1000 m2 but are depauperate at 100 m2. Considering all sites collectively, species richness at each of the three scales was tested for their correlation with the site characteristics listed in Tables 2, 3, & 4. At all scales, the only site factor significantly correlated with species richness was total annual solar insolation (Fig. 5). Thus, richness is greatest on the cooler, moister, north-facing slopes than on the hotter south-facing Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Southern California Academy of Sciences.
