Effects of forest fragment area on interactions between plants and their natural enemies: consequences for plant diversity at multiple spatial scales
Density-dependent interactions between plants and their natural enemies, including fungal pathogens and insect herbivores, help maintain plant species coexistence and diversity at local scales (α-diversity). However, turnover in plant species composition across space also contributes to biodiversity...
