Abstract:QuestionsOur study aims to understand whether priority effects or environmental filters drive community assembly in 20‐year‐old restoration areas in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. For this, we investigated the following questions: (i) does the initial composition of planted communities (distinct combination of ecological groups) affect the natural regeneration regarding functional composition (mean trait values), diversity (functional and taxonomic), and vegetation structure? (ii) Which functional traits of th… Show more
