  abstract = {{V}arious processes contribute to shaping the local assemblage of species in hyperdiverse tropical forest. {T}he relative contribution of environmental factors and dispersal limitation in determining the spatial distribution of saplings at local scale is unclear. {W}e examined two types of environmental factors: (a) soil type reflecting drainage regime and (b) past logging damages reflecting light regime in a neotropical moist forest site. {W}e used a logistic model to predict presence or absence of a given species in a network of elementary small plots. {T}he effect of mapped environmental factors and a spatial correlation term were jointly estimated providing a direct measure of the relative role of habitat specialisation and dispersal limitation. {A}t community level, dispersal limitation was the most important determinant of species absence at local scale. {T}he two environmental factors examined played a balanced role. {D}ifferent species however showed different degrees of dispersal limitation and habitat specialisation. {T}he distribution of a large proportion of species-the majority of the most abundant species-was significantly affected by at least one environmental factor. {W}e provide a ranking of 49 species sensitive to canopy disturbance (from shade specialist to pioneer) and 41 species affected by seasonal flooding (either positively or negatively).},
