Patterns of Understory Community Assembly and Plant Trait-Environment Relationships in Temperate SE European Forests

Patterns of Understory Community Assembly and Plant Trait-Environment Relationships in Temperate SE European Forests

We analyzed variation in the functional composition and diversity of understory plant communities across different forest vegetation types in Slovenia. The study area comprises 10 representative forest sites covering broad gradients of environmental conditions (altitude, geology, light availability,...
