Functional Diversity Changes after Selective Thinning in a Tropical Mountain Forest in Southern Ecuador

Functional Diversity Changes after Selective Thinning in a Tropical Mountain Forest in Southern Ecuador

<b>Background:</b> The impact of selective thinning on forest diversity has been extensively studied in temperate and boreal regions. However, in the tropics, knowledge is still poor regarding the impacts of this silvicultural treatment on functional diversity, especially in tropical mou...
