Abstract The mass effect determinant of species richness proposed by Shmida & Wilson (1985) was empirically tested at the interface of undisturbed, native vegetation with recovering vegetation on a reclaimed surface mine. The observed decrease in native species richness with distance away from the source area was consistent with the predicted pattern based on Shmida & Wilson's (1985) model.
