Unraveling the inverse latitudinal gradient: Environmental and geographic influences on plant diversity in South American coastal lomas

2024-10-28

Abstract excerpt

Water availability is widely recognized for its importance in shaping plant diversity gradients globally. However, even in arid ecosystems such as drylands, a remarkable diversity of plant species can persist. Yet, the environmental, topographic, and geographic drivers that have structured plant diversity gradients within drylands over evolutionary time, and their relative importance, are poorly understood, partic...
