Influence of niche characteristics and forest type on fern species richness, abundance and plant size along an elevational gradient in Costa Rica
An analysis of the fern vegetation on 156 plots along an elevational gradient (45-3400 m) in undisturbed forests in Costa Rica, Central America, showed a hump-shaped pattern of species richness with a maximum of up to 68 species per 400 m² at midelevations. This study documents the contribution of s...
