Light heterogeneity affects understory plant species richness in temperate forests supporting the heterogeneity–diversity hypothesis

Abstract One of the most important drivers for the coexistence of plant species is the resource heterogeneity of a certain environment, and several studies in different ecosystems have supported this resource heterogeneity–diversity hypothesis. However, to date, only a few studies have measured hete...
