Climate and soils determine aboveground biomass indirectly via species diversity and stand structural complexity in tropical forests
Theoretical and empirical studies have suggested that climate and soils are the main drivers
of biodiversity, stand structure and aboveground biomass in natural forests. Yet, the direct …

Multitrait successional forest dynamics enable diverse competitive coexistence
To explain diversity in forests, niche theory must show how multiple plant species coexist
while competing for the same resources. Although successional processes are widespread …

Logging and soil nutrients independently explain plant trait expression in tropical forests
Plant functional traits regulate ecosystem functions but little is known about how co‐
occurring gradients of land use and edaphic conditions influence their expression. We test …
