Plant Functional Traits and the Distribution of West African Rain Forest Trees along the Rainfall Gradient

Plant Functional Traits and the Distribution of West African Rain Forest Trees along the Rainfall Gradient

Show other versions (1)

Plant morphological and physiological traits affect the way plants tolerate environmental stresses and therefore play an important role in shaping species distribution patterns in relation to environmental gradients. Despite our growing knowledge on the role of functional traits in structuring plant...
