Abstract:Exploring the relationship between topography and forest multifunctionality enhances understanding of the mechanisms maintaining forest multifunctionality and proves beneficial for managing overall forest functions across different landscapes. Leveraging census data from a 20 ha subtropical forest plot, we investigated the topographic variations in individual functions, multifunctionality, and their interrelationships. Our results revealed that relative to lower elevations, higher elevations had higher woody p… Show more
