Leaf trait variation in species-rich tropical Andean forests

Juergen Homeier et al.

Summary: The study investigated tree leaf trait variation along an elevation gradient in highly diverse neotropical montane forests. Results showed that leaf trait integration increased with elevation, indicating stronger environmental filtering at colder and nutrient-poorer sites.

Nutrient cycling drives plant community trait assembly and ecosystem functioning in a tropical mountain biodiversity hotspot

Mateus Dantas de Paula et al.

Summary: This study explored the main drivers of community assembly along an elevational gradient in highly diverse tropical rainforests by implementing plant trait variation and improved soil organic matter dynamics in a dynamic vegetation model. The results suggest that the elevational temperature gradient indirectly drives community assembly and ecosystem functioning through its effect on soil nutrient dynamics and vegetation traits. Activation of nutrient limitations to plant growth and mycorrhizal nutrient uptake were found to be crucial for realistic model predictions.
