Abstract:In this brief report, the relative importance of different climatic variables on structuring the spatial richness patterns of endemic tree species are quantified for Western Ghats of India, a biodiversity hotspot of the world. Path analysis and spatial multiple regression analysis are employed to measure the relative impacts of different climatic variables on the richness of tree species. Four climatic predictors, annual mean temperature (TEM), annual mean precipitation (PREC), annual evapotranspiration (AET),… Show more
