Evaluating the effect of phylogenetic diversity and leaf traits variations on carbon storage and productivity along elevation gradients in Tropical Andean Montane Forests
Project summary:
This proposal aims to gain insight into the functioning of montane forests in the Ecuadorian Andes by exploring the phylogenetic and functional diversity as possible determinants of the spatial and temporal variations of above-ground biomass stocks and productivity along a 3000 m elevation gradient.
