Biodiversity patterns along elevational gradients have been well documented. Yet, the variations of biodiversity patterns along elevations and their underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Integrating multiple facets of biodiversity provides novel insights into the mechanisms for driving community assembly. In this study, species abundance information was incorporated into taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity to reveal the ecological and evolutionary forces of plant community assembly along an elevational gradient in subtropical forests.

亚热带森林沿海拔梯度植物群落组装的分类学和系统发育研究

沿海拔梯度的生物多样性模式已得到充分证明。但是，沿海拔高度的生物多样性模式的变化及其潜在机制仍不清楚。整合生物多样性的多个方面为推动社区集会的机制提供了新颖的见解。在这项研究中，物种丰富度信息被纳入分类学和系统发育多样性中，以揭示亚热带森林中植物群落组装沿着海拔梯度的生态和进化力。
