  abstract = {{D}isturbances control rainforest dynamics, and, according to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis ({IDH}), disturbance regime is a key driver of local diversity. {V}ariations in disturbance regimes and their consequences on regional diversity at broad spatiotemporal scales are still poorly understood. {U}sing multidisciplinary large-scale inventories and {L}i{DAR} acquisitions, we developed a robust indicator of disturbance regimes based on the frequency of a few early successional and widely distributed pioneer species. {W}e demonstrate at the landscape scale that tree-species diversity and disturbance regimes vary with climate and relief. {S}ignificant relationships between the disturbance indicator, tree-species diversity and soil phosphorus content agree with the hypothesis that rainforest diversity is controlled both by disturbance regimes and long-term ecosystem stability. {T}hese effects explain the broad-scale patterns of floristic diversity observed between landscapes. {I}n fact, species-rich forests in highlands, which have benefited from long-term stability combined with a moderate and regular regime of local disturbances, contrast with less diversified forests on recently shaped lowlands, which have undergone more recent changes and irregular dynamics. {T}hese results suggest that taking the current disturbance regime into account and including geomorphological stratifications in climate-vegetation models may be an effective way to improve the prediction of changes in species diversity under climate change.},
