Environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity in a subtropical karst forest of China
This study reveals the spatial pattern of karst plant diversity in southwest China and its influencing factors, as well as the mechanism of community construction, providing a theoretical foundation and scientific basis for biodiversity conservation and vegetation restoration in karst areas.
