Tree communities vary at different spatial scales and are influenced by environmental factors. To understand the role of environmental factors in tree communities requires a scale-wise analysis. The overall objective of this study was to analyse the influence of environmental drivers (soil and climate) on three aspects of forest community structure (floristic patterns, tree height–diameter relationship and leaf functional traits) at regional (>100 km2) and local (0.5 km2) spatial scales.This study was conducted in Cameroon, Gabon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, all belonging to the lowland ( one individual ha-1 per site) and by many “scarce species” (≤ one individual ha-1 per site). The gradients in soil composition (soil texture,...
