  abstract = {{A}im {A}lthough the increase in species richness with increasing area is considered one of the few laws in ecology, the role of environmental and taxon-specific features in shaping species-area relationships ({SAR}s) remains controversial. {U}sing 421 land-plant floras covering continents, continental islands and oceanic islands, we investigate whether variations in {SAR} parameters can be interpreted in terms of differences among lineages in speciation mode and dispersal capacities ({TAXON}), or of geological history and geographical isolation between continents and islands ({GEO}). {L}ocation{G}lobal. {M}ethods {L}inear mixed-effects models describing variation in {SAR}s, depending on the factors {GEO} and {TAXON} and controlling for differences between realms ({REALM}) and biomes ({BIOME}). {R}esults {T}he best random-effect structure included both random slopes and random intercepts for {GEO}, {TAXON}, {REALM} and {BIOME}. {T}his accounted for 77% of the total variation in species richness, substantially more than the 27% statistically explained by the model with fixed effects only (i.e. the simple {SAR}). {T}he slopes of the {SAR}s were higher for oceanic islands than for continental islands and continents, and higher in spermatophytes than in pteridophytes and bryophytes. {T}he intercepts largely exhibited the reverse trend. {TAXON} was included in best-fit models restricted to oceanic and continental islands, but not continents. {A}nalysing each plant lineage separately, the intercept of {GEO} was only included in the random structure of spermatophytes. {M}ain conclusions {SAR} parameters varied considerably depending on geological history and taxon-specific traits. {S}uch differences in {SAR}s among land plants challenge the neutral theory that the accumulation of species richness on islands is controlled exclusively by extrinsic factors. {T}axon-specific differences in {SAR}s were, however, confounded by interactions with geological history and geographical isolation. {T}his highlights the importance of applying integrative frameworks that take both environmental context and taxonomic idiosyncrasies into account in {SAR} analyses.},
