Biomass allocation and plant morphology explain the difference in shrub species abundance in a temperate forest

Abstract In forested ecosystems, shrubs must succeed in persisting in low‐light environments, while simultaneously having the ability to rapidly expand and occupy newly created canopy openings, yet little is known about the traits that make this possible. We hypothesize that shrub species that are a...
