Abstract:
Predicting plant establishment and growth is a fundamental goal of community ecology, especially when studying invasion. Functional traits can infer a species’ environmental tolerances and competitive abilities and may help improve predictions, yet such models are limited by a lack of data on failed establishment. Filtering of species from regional pools to site-specific pools to local communities provides abundant evidence of failed establishment represented by species excluded at each level of the hierarchy. We tested whether trait differences between observed and absent species among these pools can help predict species establishment.
