  abstract = {{P}lant and bird diversity in the {I}ndonesian jungle rubber agroforestry system was compared to that in primary forest and rubber plantations by integrating new and existing data from a lowland rain forest area in {S}umatra. {J}ungle rubber gardens are low-input rubber ({H}evea brasiliensis) agroforests that structurally resemble secondary forest and in which wild species are tolerated by the farmer. {A}s primary forests have almost completely disappeared from the lowlands of the {S}umatra peneplain, our aim was to assess the contribution of jungle rubber as a land use type to the conservation of plant and bird species, especially those that are associated with the forest interior of primary and old secondary forest. {S}pecies-accumulation curves were compiled for terrestrial and epiphytic pteridophytes, trees and birds, and for subsets of 'forest species' of terrestrial pteridophytes and birds. {C}omparing jungle rubber and primary forest, groups differed in relative species richness patterns. {S}pecies richness in jungle rubber was slightly higher (terrestrial pteridophytes), similar (birds) or lower (epiphytic pteridophytes, trees, vascular plants as a whole) than in primary forest. {F}or subsets of 'forest species' of terrestrial pteridophytes and birds, species richness in jungle rubber was lower than in primary forest. {F}or all groups, species richness in jungle rubber was generally higher than in rubber plantations. {A}lthough species conservation in jungle rubber is limited by management practices and by a slash-and-burn cycle for replanting of about 40 years, this forest-like land use does support species diversity in an impoverished landscape increasingly dominated by monoculture plantations.},
