Table 2 Multiple regression analyses of abundance and richness of evergreen and deciduous species and alpha phylogenetic diversity against twelve factors for tree communities in central Western Ghats, India. Model selection (best model) for multiple regressions was based on minimizing the AICc in consideration of all 4095 models

From: Functional trait and community phylogenetic analyses reveal environmental filtering as the major determinant of assembly of tropical forest tree communities in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot in India
