The transport of plasma and of energetic particles because of magnetic turbulence is relevant to many space plasmas, ranging from the planetary magnetospheres to the solar corona and to the heliosphere. Various transport regimes for magnetic field lines can be obtained depending on the Kubo number. Here we show, by means of a numerical simulation, that the Kubo number also determines the level of chaos of the field lines. Weak chaos, closed magnetic surfaces, and anomalous transport regimes are obtained for R≪ 1; widespread chaos, destroyed magnetic surfaces, and quasilinear scaling of the diffusion coefficient for R ≳ 0.3; and global stochasticity as well as percolation scaling of the diffusion coefficient for R≫ 1.
