Microenvironment filtering and plant competition jointly structure trait distributions across co-occurring individuals

Microenvironment filtering and plant competition jointly structure trait distributions across co-occurring individuals

The prevailing role of environmental filtering in community assembly has been widely corroborated at large spatial scales. However, how environmental filtering and plant competition collectively determine trait distributions among coexisting individuals at within-community scales remains an unresolv...
