Fragmentation affects plant community composition over time
across ecosystems. In part this deficit is due to the fact that the most frequently used metric in long term datasets, species richness, obscures compositional shifts (Magurran and Henderson 2010, Dornelas et al. 2014). Importantly, changes in community composition can have cascading effects on ecosystem properties (Tabarelli et al. 2012), highlighting a pressing need for a better understanding...
متن کاملStream Hydrological Fragmentation Drives Bacterioplankton Community Composition
In Mediterranean intermittent streams, the hydrological fragmentation in summer and the successive water flow re-convergence in autumn allow exploring how local processes shape the microbial community within the same habitat. The objectives of this study were to determine how bacterial community composition responded to hydrological fragmentation in summer, and to evaluate whether the seasonal ...
متن کاملRhizosphere microbial community composition affects cadmium and zinc uptake by the metal-hyperaccumulating plant Arabidopsis halleri.
The remediation of metal-contaminated soils by phytoextraction depends on plant growth and plant metal accessibility. Soil microorganisms can affect the accumulation of metals by plants either by directly or indirectly stimulating plant growth and activity or by (im)mobilizing and/or complexing metals. Understanding the intricate interplay of metal-accumulating plants with their rhizosphere mic...
متن کاملHerbivore preference drives plant community composition.
Herbivores are important drivers of plant species coexistence and community assembly. However, detailed mechanistic information on how herbivores affect dominance hierarchies between plant species is scarce. Here, we used data of a multi-site herbivore exclusion experiment in grasslands to assess changes in the cover of 28 plant species in response to aboveground pesticide. application. Moreove...
متن کاملHabitat Fragmentation Drives Plant Community Assembly Processes across Life Stages
Habitat fragmentation is one of the principal causes of biodiversity loss and hence understanding its impacts on community assembly and disassembly is an important topic in ecology. We studied the relationships between fragmentation and community assembly processes in the land-bridge island system of Thousand Island Lake in East China. We focused on the changes in species diversity and phylogen...
