Individual species affect plant traits structure in their surroundings: evidence of functional mechanisms of assembly.

Abstract excerpt

Evaluating community assembly through the use of functional traits is a promising tool for testing predictions arising from Niche and Coexistence theories. Although interactions among neighboring species and their inter-specific differences are known drivers of coexistence with a strong spatial signal, assessing the role of individual species on the functional structure of the community at different spatial...
