Plant Species Richness is Associated with Canopy Height and Topography in a Neotropical Forest
Most plant species are non-randomly distributed across environmental gradients in light, water, and nutrients. In tropical forests, these gradients result from biophysical processes related to the structure of the canopy and terrain, but how does species richness in tropical forests vary over such g...
