Influence of plant abundance on disease incidence in a Mexican tropical forest

2006-12-01

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we investigate to what extent the occurrence of foliar diseases is affected by plant relative abundance in the understory community of the Los Tuxtlas tropical rain forest, how this changes with season of the year, and how plant species with different life histories present at the understory are affected by disease. To provide a context to these analyses we also include a general description of the f...
