Long-term droughts may drive drier tropical forests towards increased functional, taxonomic and phylogenetic homogeneity
Different aspects of biodiversity may not necessarily converge in their response to climate change. Here, the authors investigate 25-year shifts in taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of tropical forests along a spatial climate gradient in West Africa, showing that drier forests are les...
