Rapid structural and compositional change in an old-growth subtropical forest: using plant traits to identify probable drivers.

Recent studies have shown directional changes in old-growth tropical forests, but changes are complex and diverse, and their drivers unclear. Here, we report rapid net structural and compositional changes in an old-growth subtropical forest and we assess the functional nature of these changes to tes...
