Tropical montane forest ecotones: climate gradients, natural disturbance, and vegetation zonation in the Cordillera Central, Dominican Republic (2007, background): “…fire is also commonly acknowledged as an important driver of high-elevation vegetation patterns in TMFs (e.g. Smith & Young, 1987; Herwitz & Young, 1994; Vázquez & Givnish, 1998; Ashton, 2003), but more quantitative study is required to elucidate its long-term influence on vegetation patterns.”
Angiospermas em remanescentes de floresta montana no sul da Bahia, Brasil (2009, background): “Variações florísticas e fisionômicas ao longo de gradientes altitudinais são recorrentes em áreas de florestas tropicais onde muitas vezes é difícil delimitar objetivamente essas fitofisionomias (Grubb et al. 1963, Grubb & Whitmore 1966, Richards 1996, Ashton 2003).”
Consistent patterns of elevational change in tree taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity across Malesian mountain forests (2013, background): “munities on wet tropical mountains (van Steenis, 1984; Ashton, 2003).”
The influence of climate on the spatial patterning of Neotropical plant families (2007, background): “We cannot completely rule out the possibility that other environmental variables that covary strongly with temperature (including soil quality (Ashton, 2003)) are more causally linked to diversity differences among families than temperature itself.”
Forest aboveground biomass along an elevational transect in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the role of Fagaceae in tropical montane rain forests (2010, background): “In contrast to western Malesia, where members of the Dipterocarpaceae often dominate the lowland and submontane forests and reach elevations of up to 1600 m (Hamann et al., 1999; Ashton, 2003), the family thins out in Sulawesi, where only seven of the 386 Malesian dipterocarp tree species are presen”
