How edaphic and hydrological characteristics drive plant distribution patterns: a study of functional traits in southeastern Brazil floodplains
ABSTRACT Floodplains provide fertile soils and essential ecosystem services, including water purification and nutrient cycling, yet they face intense human pressure. We investigated the diversity, structure, and functional traits of a tropical floodplain across five eco-units: Marginal Levee, Lower Terrace, Higher Terr...
