A synthesis and future research directions for tropical mountain ecosystem restoration
Many tropical mountain ecosystems (TME) are severely disturbed, requiring ecological
restoration to recover biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, the extent of …

Environmental conditions differently shape leaf, seed and seedling trait composition between and within elevations of tropical montane forests
The composition of plant functional traits varies in response to environmental conditions due
to processes of community assembly and species sorting. However, there is a lack of …
