Distribution of different plant life forms on tropical islands: patterns and underlying mechanisms
Overall, this study highlights the multifaceted roles of geographic, climatic, and soil factors in determining the composition of island plant communities across different life forms. The findings have important implications for island conservation, as they provide a deeper understanding of how plant communities respond to spatial and environmental factors, aiding in the management of biodiversity on tropical islands.
