Description

In order to investigate the occurrence of wetland woods in the latitudinal transition to arid regions in south-western Europe, we studied species patterns (richness and abundance), examined floristic differences between woods along the latitudinal gradient, and determined the relative influence of the underlying environmental drivers of plant variation at various scales.
