Distribution of Vascular Plant Species Richness and Endemic Richness along the Himalayan Elevation Gradient in Nepal

Aim: Species richness and endemic richness vary along elevation gradients, but not necessarily in the same way. This study tests if the maxima in gamma diversity for flowering plants and the endemic subset of these plants are coherent or not. Location: The study was conducted in Nepal, between 1000...
