Caves are formed by chemical reactions between circulating groundwater and surrounding rocks and have an isolated and strongly zonal environment, characterized by dim light, oligotrophy, and low diurnal and annual variation in temperature and humidity. They are home to unique and fragile biotas with high levels of endemism. However, little is known about how the biotic colonization of cave...

The heterogeneity of vegetation community types within a terrestrial ecosystem, i.e., vegetation community complexity, can mediate its biological processes (e.g., energy harnessing, water and nutrient uptake and cycling), and therefore influences its stability and sustainability to environmental change. Revealing factors contributing to vegetation community complexity changes is key to und...
