摘      要：Aims and Methods We propose a standard protocol at the landscape to continental scale for examining to what extent the range of ecological conditions found in temperate latitudes explains the variations in climber species richness and *** protocol was tested in forests of the two *** data set included 151 climber *** selected four categorical traits and grouped these species into six clusters with regard to these *** records of American forests were first gathered into alliances,second combined with bioclimatic indices(rainfall,temperature,continentality).We obtained a total of 59 vegetational units in which we calculated values of climber species richness and proportion of *** units were ultimately gathered into five forest formations(characterized by leaf longevity).Wetlands and uplands were considered *** Findings Our results emphasize clear trends in large-scale patterns of climber distribution,independently of *** species richness(in particular woody climbers)peaks in moist and warm upland forests with oceanic climates,and where conifers are *** flooded areas,climber richness is also very high and peaks in seasonally flooded large *** ecological conditions of frost,dryness or lack of nutrients,climber species richness,abundance and trait diversity decline,resulting in the dominance of small,twining and deciduous life traits.
