Local-scale Partitioning of Functional and Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in a Tropical Tree Assemblage

The relative degree to which stochastic and deterministic processes underpin community assembly is a central problem in ecology. Quantifying local-scale phylogenetic and functional beta diversity may shed new light on this problem. We used species distribution, soil, trait and phylogenetic data to q...
