Fine-grained water availability drives divergent trait selection in Amazonian trees

Fine-grained water availability drives divergent trait selection in Amazonian trees

Water availability is an important driver of plant functional biogeography. Most studies focus on the effects of precipitation, and neglect the contribution of groundwater as a source when the water table depth (WTD) is accessible to roots. Previous studies suggested that shallow water tables select...
