Intraspecific trait variability facilitates tree species persistence along riparian forest edges in Southern Amazonia.

Abstract excerpt

Tropical forest fragmentation from agricultural expansion alters the microclimatic conditions of the remaining forests, with effects on vegetation structure and function. However, little is known about how the functional trait variability within and among tree species in fragmented landscapes influence and facilitate species' persistence in these new environmental conditions. Here, we assessed potential changes...
