Effects of a Dominant Species on the Functional Diversity of Coexisting Species in Temperate Deciduous Understorey

Effects of a Dominant Species on the Functional Diversity of Coexisting Species in Temperate Deciduous Understorey

The herb layer plays a significant role in maintaining forest functions, and its community composition is determined by various abiotic factors and biotic interactions. This study attempted to investigate the interspecific plant–plant biotic interactions using a functional traits approach. Specifica...
