Other claims from this paper (12)

Observation The survey recorded 444 vascular plant species.
Observation Richness peaked at 263 species in the 600–700 in band.
Observation The uppermost band contained 10 species.
Observation Richness differed little among bands below 1000 m.
Association July and January temperatures and precipitation predicted richness across the gradient.
Observation Turnover was highest in three elevation bands.
Association Richness had a linear relationship with July temperature between 700 and 1500 m.
Observation The climatic vascular plant limit was estimated at 2.4°C mean July temperature.
Association Species number above 1500 and below 700 m was lower than summer temperature alone predicted.
Observation The 700–800 m band had the greatest floristic difference.
Observation The 600–800 and 1500–1600 m bands were major biotic boundaries.
Observation No consistent major discontinuity occurred at the forest limit band.
