Facilitation and Competition on Gradients in Alpine Plant Communities
We conducted a neighbor removal experiment in natural alpine plant communities of the southwestern Alps to test for the relative importance of competitive and facilitative interactions along elevational and topographical gradients. The experimental sites were chosen to encompass most of the floristic diversity observed along gradients of elevation and topography, which are the two main ecologic...
متن کاملPredicting Plant Species Distribution Across an Alpine
5 Predictive models constitute an important tool in ecology. Using presence/absence data of 6 15 plant species of an alpine rangeland in northern Spain, and a set of 14 topographical and 7 geomorphological descriptors of relatively easy acquisition, we examined and compared the 8 performance of five state-of-the-art methods used in ecological modeling: Multiple Logistic 9 Regression (MLR), Arti...
متن کاملNitrogen:phosphorous supply ratio and allometry in five alpine plant species
In terrestrial ecosystems, atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has greatly increased N availability relative to other elements, particularly phosphorus (P). Alterations in the availability of N relative to P can affect plant growth rate and functional traits, as well as resource allocation to above- versus belowground biomass (MA and MB). Biomass allocation among individual plants is broadly si...
متن کاملAlien Roadside Species More Easily Invade Alpine than Lowland Plant Communities in a Subarctic Mountain Ecosystem
Effects of roads on plant communities are not well known in cold-climate mountain ecosystems, where road building and development are expected to increase in future decades. Knowledge of the sensitivity of mountain plant communities to disturbance by roads is however important for future conservation purposes. We investigate the effects of roads on species richness and composition, including th...
متن کاملGrassland compost amendments increase plant production without changing plant communities
Compost amendment to grassland is a novel strategy proposed and demonstrated to increase ecosystem carbon (C) storage. However, the effects of compost applications on biomass production and plant diversity are not well known. We assessed impacts of a onetime compost amendment over 4 yr on plant dynamics in two grazed grassland ecosystems in California: a coastal prairie and valley grassland. Th...
