Abstract:QuestionsHow does the type of swamp, that is, riverine vs palustrine, shape understorey and overstorey plant communities? Beyond swamp type, how do spatial, topographic, soil and landscape characteristics determine the taxonomic and functional structure of swamp communities?LocationSouthern Québec, Canada.MethodsWe sampled riverine and palustrine swamp plant communities in two watersheds within two ecoregions with contrasting land use. At the site scale (n = 56), we analyzed differences between riverine and pa… Show more
