1. IntroductionForest composition and diversity reflect numerous ecological processes that can be modified by management [1]. In tropical forests, trees and shrubs typically display higher diversity compared to herbs, epiphytes, and climbers [2], and their interactions and coexistence helps to form distinct biodiversity [3].

AbstractThermophilization is the directional change in species community composition towards greater relative abundances of species associated with warmer environments. This process is well-documented in temperate and Neotropical plant communities, but it is uncertain whether this phenomenon occurs elsewhere in the tropics.
