Both trait-neutrality and filtering effects are validated by the vegetation patterns detected in the functional recovery of sand grasslands
Abstract Neutral theory of species assembly means that species assembly is governed by stochastic dispersal processes and fluctuations in established populations. An alternative theory suggests that assembly is strongly determined by functional trait filtering governed by abiotic and biotic filterin...
