Environmental gradients have played a pivotal role in the history and development of plant ecology and are useful for testing ecological and evolutionary theory. Área de Conservación Guanacaste is a spatio‐temporal mosaic of forests that have evolved continuously across elevation, topography, soil types, succession, and annual and inter‐annual climatic change. Studies of plant ecology across diverse gradients of ACG have shaped functional ecology, successional theory, community assembly, plant–herbivore interactions, among many other fields. In this review, we synthesize the, perhaps overlooked, role plant ecological studies of ACG have had on our understanding of tropical forest dynamics. We outline present‐day processes that will have major impacts on forest dynamics of ACG in the future and highlight how ACG will continue to shape future research priorities in plant ecology.

跨时空的热带森林组成和功能：瓜纳卡斯特（ÁreadeConservaciónGuanacaste）不同梯度的见解

环境梯度在植物生态学的历史和发展中起着举足轻重的作用，可用于检验生态学和进化论。瓜纳卡斯特保护区（ÁreadeConservaciónGuanacaste）是时空镶嵌的森林，在海拔，地形，土壤类型，演替以及年度和年度气候变化之间不断演化。在ACG的不同梯度上进行的植物生态学研究已经塑造了功能生态学，演替理论，社区集会，植物与草食动物的相互作用以及许多其他领域。在这篇综述中，我们综合了ACG的植物生态学研究对我们对热带森林动态的理解的作用，也许被忽略了。
