Seedling establishment shapes the distribution of shade-adapted forest herbs across a topographical moisture gradient

1. In deciduous forests, herb distribution patterns can shift dramatically across topographical gradients, yet it remains unclear whether topographical associations reflect regeneration niche differences that arise during early life-history stages. 2. We examined: (i) whether seedling recruitment pa...
