New @Biotropica paper on species spatial distribution in Southeast Asian tropical forest. Can leaf drought tolerance explain species spatial ditribution in regard to soil moisture? doi.org/10.1111/btp.70230 Thanks to all the collaborators for the great work! @ForestGEO

Species Spatial Distribution is Not Associated With Leaf Turgor Loss Point in an Aseasonal Wet...

Drought tolerance inferred from functional traits has been shown to explain tree species distributions with respect to rainfall and topography in dry tropical forests, but the extent to which...
