Tropical Diversification Patterns
Plant species diversity is massively biased towards the tropics, for example the forests of Amazonia harbour 16,000 tree species compared to 30 native tree species in the UK. Our research in the Tropical Diversity group here at RBGE aims to describe and understand this diversity and its origins in terms of time and geography.
