Diurnal temperature range drives understory plant community composition in micro-climatically complex temperate montane forests

Cold air drainage is common in mountains, and leads to large, fine-scale differences in diurnal temperature range (DTR). DTR is hypothesized to drive plant community assembly, because areas with high DTR can be exposed to both extreme high and extreme low temperatures in the same day. We established...
