Temporal dynamics and species-specific responses to biotic and abiotic drivers shape seedling establishment in a subtropical forest
Seedling establishment is a critical demographic bottleneck for species regeneration and diversity maintenance in forests, yet the temporal contributions of biotic and abiotic factors remain poorly understood. This is because most previous studies focused disproportionately on biotic factors or limited abiotic factor...
