Economic forces in the Thünen rent diagram and the equivalence of certain Thünian and Ricardian land rent concepts are shown diagrammatically. The usual, linear rent line requires fixed production coefficients in agriculture and constant costs in transportation. The ability to substitute among land and other inputs in agriculture makes the rent line convex to the origin, as do decreasing costs in transportation. Increasing cost transportation makes the rent line concave. Traditional, subsistence agriculture is likely to produce a more strongly convex rent line than modern, large‐scale agriculture. Les forces économiques dans le diagramme de rente de Thünen et l'equivalence de certains concepts de rente foncier Thünien et Ricardien sont exposés graphiquement. La courbe de rente linéaire exige des coëfficients de production fixes en agriculture et des coûts de transport fixes. La capacitéà substituer entre la terre et d'autres facteurs de production en agriculture, ainsi que des coûts de transport décroissants, donnent une courbe de rente convexe par rapport à 1'origine. Des coûts de transport accroissants donnent une courbe de rente concave. Une agriculture à petite échelle, traditionnelle, donnera probablement une courbe de rente plus convexe qu'une agriculture moderne, à grande échelle
