ABSTRACT Quantifying and modelling the effect of environmental variables on the abundance of species is of great importance in plant ecology and forestry. In this paper, using a log-additive model, the effect of environmental variables on distribution of five species in the Barro Colorado Island plot is modelled. The fitted log-additive models are examined and compared with conventional log-linear models. Finally, a cluster analysis is employed to classify species into groups with similar habitat preferences.
