The Effect of Climatic Gradients, Topographic Variation and Species Traits on the Beta Diversity of Rain Forest Trees

Aim: We assessed the rates of turnover of tree species with distance (beta diversity) in wet forests of the Western Ghats (WG) complex of India to see whether climate, topographic variation or species traits influence beta diversity. Location: The Western Ghats is a chain of mountains about 1600 km...
