Community Assembly in Shrubland Ecosystems: the Role of Abiotic and Biotic Filters alond Secondary Succession - Maria Encarnación Coca García

This study analyzed plant community succession in Mediterranean ecosystems affected by climate stress and wildfires. Results show that early stages are dominated by abiotic filters, while biotic interactions grow over time. Biodiversity increases with succession, but frequent disturbances limit recovery, shaping long-term functional and phylogenetic community structure.
