Novel ecosystems: implications for conservation and restoration.
Many ecosystems are rapidly being transformed into new, non-historical configurations owing to a variety of local and global changes. We discuss how new systems can arise in the face of primarily biotic change (extinction and/or invasion), primarily abiotic change (e.g. land use or climate change) and a combination of both. Some changes will result in hybrid systems retaining some original char...
متن کاملDisturbance, Diversity, and Invasion: Implications for Conservation
Disturbance is an important component o f many ecosystemg and variations in disturbance regime can affect ecosystem and communi ty structure and functioning. The "'intermediate disturbance hypothesis" suggests that species diversity should be highest at moderate levels o f disturbance. However, disturbance is also known to increase the invasibility o f communities. Disturbance therefore poses a...
متن کاملDiversity and distribution patterns of Solanaceae in Iran: Implications for conservation and habitat management with emphasis on endemism and diversity in SW Asia
The increasing rate of irreversible damages to natural habitats has reinforced the need for gathering biodiversity fundamental data to conservation. Priority setting is the most important step in protection programs. Solanaceae as the the one of important economic families of eudicots distributed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific. Up to n...
متن کاملMultiscale Patterns of Riparian Plant Diversity and Implications for Restoration
Planning riparian restoration to resemble historic reference conditions requires an understanding of both local and regional patterns of plant species diversity. Thus, understanding species distributions at multiple spatial scales is essential to improve restoration planting success, to enhance long-term ecosystem functioning, and to match restoration planting designs with historic biogeographi...
متن کاملFragmentation, disturbance and tree diversity conservation in tropical montane forests
1. Loss in forest cover associated with human activities leads to forest islands within a fragmented landscape. Anthropogenic disturbance may also directly alter tree species diversity. Habitat fragmentation and disturbance may have implications for biodiversity conservation and can affect a variety of population and community processes over a range of temporal and spatial scales. Effects are m...
