Ecological Assembly of High-diversity Plant Communities: Dispersal, Competition, and Environmental Filtering in Longleaf Pine Savannas
Ecological mechanisms proposed to explain community assembly and the maintenance of biodiversity are hypothesized to fall along a theoretical continuum bounded at one extreme by deterministic processes (niche assembly) and at the other extreme by stochastic processes (dispersal assembly). In this di...
