- •
Dracaena understorey plant species composition differs from open site composition.
- •
Species richness and total abundance are higher in the understorey.
- •
Ongoing decline of Dracaena may negatively affect associated endemic-rich vegetation.
- •
Results underline the importance of conservation efforts to preserve Dracaena stands.
