Genetic Sorting of Subordinate Species in Grassland Modulated by Intraspecific Variation in Dominant Species
Genetic variation in a single species can have predictable and heritable effects on associated communities and ecosystem processes, however little is known about how genetic variation of a dominant species affects plant community assembly. We characterized the genetic structure of a dominant grass (Sorghastrum nutans) and two subordinate species (Chamaecrista fasciculata, Silphium integrifolium...
متن کاملProductivity and Subordinate Species Response to Dominant Grass Species and Seed Source during Restoration
Grasses can be important regulators of species diversity and ecosystem processes in prairie systems. Although C4 grasses are usually assumed to be ecologically similar because they are in the same functional group, there may be important differences among species or between seed sources that could impact restorations. I tested whether C4 grass species identity, seed source, or grass species ric...
متن کاملRepeated patterns of trait divergence between closely related dominant and subordinate bird species.
Ecologically similar species often compete aggressively for shared resources. These interactions are frequently asymmetric, with one species behaviorally dominant to another and excluding it from preferred resources. Despite the potential importance of this type of interference competition as a source of selection, we know little about patterns of trait divergence between dominant and subordina...
متن کاملStress Response of Dominant Forest Tree Species South of the Caspian Sea in Relation to Soil from Coast to Upland
Distribution and growth of plant species is affected by many factors including abiotic (topography, altitude and soil) and biotic (root symbiosis) factors. In light of global warming, recent findings advocate microhabitats and micro-conditions of the root zone and canopy ambiance as determining factors in sustaining of plant populations. Although, occurrence of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and non...
متن کاملPlant species and functional groups response to exclosure in Lazour rangeland of Tehran province
The study of vegetation dynamics under grazed and non-grazed rangelands is one of the most important prerequisites for range improvement. In this research, vegetation composition and the vegetation functional groups were compared in an exclosure site (livestock excluded for six years) and grazed area in semi-steppe rangelands in Tehran province. Systematic random sampling technique through the...
