Aim To (1) identify floristic regions in the lowland (below 500 m a.s.l.) tropical dipterocarp rain forest of Borneo based on tree genera, (2) determine the characteristic taxa of these regions, (3) study tree diversity patterns within Borneo, and (4) relate the floristic and diversity patterns to abiotic factors such as mean annual rainfall and geographical distance between plots.

• Tree species distributions across five habitats in a Bornean rain forest (2004, background): “…of Borneo, the dominant families are consistent within habitats but dominant species vary in different locations (Kartawinata et al. 1981; Newbery & Proctor 1984; Slik et al. 2003; Suselo & Riswan 1987), even when habitats are basically identical (Baillie et al. 1987; Brunig 1969; Newbery 1991).”
• Liana habitat associations and community structure in a Bornean lowland tropical forest (2006, background): “Indeed, even when floristic similarity is significantly correlatedwith geographic distance, this relationship may be explained by changes in environmental conditions between sites (Slik et al. 2003).”
