Tropical forests are vertically complex, and offer unique niche opportunities in the form of climate, habitat and resource gradients from ground to canopy. Rainforest species organize within this vertical spatial gradient and recent macroecological research suggests that the highest levels of vertical stratification occur in structurally complex and climatically stable tropical rainforests. However, although the classical view of the tropics is that of aseasonality, particularly in temperature, there is strong seasonality in rainfall. Thus, we predict considerable variation in vertical stratification in time, characterized by a seasonal restructuring of communities across vertical space.

气候的季节性变化导致垂直分层崩溃

热带森林在垂直方向上是复杂的,并以气候,栖息地和从地面到林冠的资源梯度的形式提供独特的利基机会。雨林物种在垂直空间梯度内组织,最近的宏观生态研究表明,垂直分层的最高水平发生在结构复杂且气候稳定的热带雨林中。然而,尽管热带地区的经典观点是季节性,特别是温度方面的观点,但降雨具有强烈的季节性。因此,我们预测垂直分层在时间上会有相当大的变化,其特征是整个垂直空间中社区的季节性重组。
