Comprehensive information on species distribution and species composition patterns of
plant communities is required for effective conservation and management of biodiversity …

Soil nutrient availability and functional traits interact in complex ways during the assembly of
tree communities hindering our understanding of the implications that this may have for their …

Relationships between spatial distributions and site conditions, namely topography and soil
texture, were analyzed for two congeneric emergent trees, Dryobalanops aromatica and …

Many studies suggest that edaphic variables are major determinants of frog distributions.
However, leaf-litter depth and soil characteristics are influenced by distance from streams …

Although it is well known that riparian zones can contribute strongly to between-habitat beta
diversity, for most taxa it is not clear how far this 'zone'extends, and whether it corresponds to …

Question: What is the relative contribution of geographic distance, soil and topographic
variables in determining the community floristic patterns and individual tree species …

Ecology and ethnobotany were integrated to assess the impact of ancient Maya tree‐
dominated home gardens (ie,“forest gardens”), which contained a diversity of tree species …

Tropical dry forests (TDFs) host a large diversity of tree species but little is known of potential
mechanisms that contribute to its maintenance. Given the paramount importance of water …

Edaphic factors and initial conditions can regulate the speed of forest succession. Edaphic
factors, which include soil chemistry and topography, determine soil resource availability …

Water is the key determinant factor of ecosystem balance, especially in hot desert regions
facing multiple climatic and edaphic constraints. In the Sahara Desert, vegetation associated …
