Phylogenetic indices and temporal and spatial scales shape the neighborhood effect on seedling survival in a mid-mountain moist evergreen broad-leaved forest, Gaoligong Mountains, Southwestern China [PDF]
Density dependence and habitat filtering have been proposed to aid in understanding community assembly and species coexistence. Phylogenetic relatedness between neighbors was used as a proxy for assessing the degree of ecological similarity among species.

Elevation Determines Fungal Diversity, and Land Use Governs Community Composition: A Dual Perspective from Gaoligong Mountains [PDF]
Soil fungi are closely tied to their surrounding environment. While numerous studies have reported the effects of land-use practices or elevations on soil fungi, our understanding of how their community structure and diversity vary with elevation across ...
