Topography and edge effects are more important than elevation as drivers of vegetation patterns in a neotropical montane forest

Aims: The high plant species diversity of tropical mountain forests is coupled with high habitat heterogeneity along gradients in elevation and topography. We quantified the effects of elevation, topography and forest edge on habitat conditions and woody plant diversity of tropical montane forest fr...
