Functional traits reveal processes driving natural afforestation at large spatial scales

Uses 10,061 survey plots to identify the primary environmental and land cover variables influencing tree occurrence probability in non-forest vegetation in New Zealand. Examines how these variables influenced diversity of functional traits linked to plant ecological strategy and dispersal ability. S...
