Area modulates the effect of elevation but not of land use or canopy on tropical plant species richness

2021-12-01

Abstract excerpt

One of the few general patterns in ecology is the increase of species richness with area. However, factors driving species-area relationship (SAR) are under debate, and the role of human-induced changes has been overlooked so far. Furthermore, SAR studies in tropical regions, in particular in multilayered rain forests are scarce. On the other side, studies of global change-induced impacts on biodiversity have beco...
