Functional and phylogenetic
diversity
Among woody species, plots near roads presented lower Fric (p=0.0004)
and PD (p=0.023) than plots far from roads. The other functional
diversity attributes (FDiv, FEve and FDis), as well as sesPD, did not
differ significantly (Table 1). Among non-woody species, the functional
diversity metrics did not differ between samples near and far from
roads. PD and sesPD were not significantly different as well (Table 1)
among non-woody species. Functional diversity, in general, did not
differ (FRic, FDiv, FEve, FDis) between the plots near and far from
roads (Table 1).
