Effects of Topographic Heterogeneity on Tree Species Richness and Stand Dynamics in a Subtropical Forest in Okinawa Island, Southern Japan

1 We used a structural equation model (SEM) to clarify the relationship between productivity and species richness across a topographic gradient in a subtropical forest in southern Japan and to quantify the direct and indirect effects of topographic position and soil properties on community attribute...
