DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3870
Abstract: Recent findings in forests worldwide have evidenced how directionality in the richness-abundance causality shifts along global climate gradients: The "More Species Hypothesis" (richness determines abundance) prevailed towards the most productive Earth's climates whereas the opposite,… read more here.
