Taxonomic and functional diversity of the family Melastomataceae along an altitudinal gradient in the Manu Reserve.
Project summary:
This research examines the taxonomic and functional diversity of Melastomataceae in Peru’s Manu Biosphere Reserve across 100–3500 masl. By analyzing key functional traits at Wayquecha and Manu stations, it aims to classify species into functional groups, aiding conservation strategies to protect biodiversity amid environmental change.
