Biogeographic distributions of neotropical trees reflect their directly measured drought tolerances
Abstract High levels of species diversity hamper current understanding of how tropical forests may respond to environmental change. In the tropics, water availability is a leading driver of the diversity and distribution of tree species, suggesting that many tropical taxa may be physiologically inca...
