Plant life‐form distribution patterns in a tropical mountain region: Effect of climate, topography, and human disturbance

2023-03-01

Abstract excerpt

QUESTION: Understanding the specific distribution patterns of vascular plants on different spatial scales is central in ecology and conservation. We evaluate the distribution patterns of five plant life forms (climbers, epiphytes, herbs, shrubs, and trees) along the elevation gradient and geographic space of a mountain system, analyzing climate, topography, and human disturbance to explain variation in the richnes...
