Using Plant DNA Barcodes and Functional Traits to Assess Community Assembly of Quercus Forests at Different Scales in the Semiarid Loess Plateau of China

Using Plant DNA Barcodes and Functional Traits to Assess Community Assembly of Quercus Forests at Different Scales in the Semiarid Loess Plateau of China

ABSTRACT Trait and evolutionary differences among coexisting species are increasingly used to comprehend the processes shaping communities. However, they do not consistently yield congruent insights due to methodological limitations and scale dependence. Utilizing two plastid DNA genes (rbcL and mat...
