Community structure of woody plants on islands along a bioclimatic gradient

Community structure of woody plants on islands along a bioclimatic gradient

Understanding patterns of community structure and the causes for their variation can be furthered by comparative biogeographic analyses of island biotas. We used woody plant data at the local scale to investigate variations in species rarity, alpha, beta, and gamma diversity within and between three...
