Habitat area and climate stability determine geographical variation in plant species range sizes
Despite being a fundamental aspect of biodiversity, little is known about what controls species range sizes. This is especially the case for hyperdiverse organisms such as plants. We use the largest botanical data set assembled to date to quantify geographical variation in range size for ~ 85 000 plant species across the New World. We assess prominent hypothesised range-size controls, finding t...
متن کاملDetermination of the Potential Habitat of Range Plant Species Using Maximum Entropy Method
This study aimed to identify the most important physical variables affecting the distribution of four range plants species (Tamarix aphylla, Calligonum comosum, Prosopis spicigera and Salsola rigida) habitats and to prepare potential habitat map of the species using Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) method in rangelands of Jiroft city, Kerman province, located in SE Iran. To this end, sampling of vegeta...

متن کاملSpecies–area relationships in Mediterranean- climate plant communities
Aim To determine the best-fit model of species–area relationships for Mediterraneantype plant communities and evaluate how community structure affects these species–area models. Location Data were collected from California shrublands and woodlands and compared with literature reports for other Mediterranean-climate regions. Methods The number of species was recorded from 1, 100 and 1000 m neste...
متن کاملInvestigation of Habitat Characteristics and Phenology of Five Range Species in Highlands of Kashan, Iran
Knowledge on habitat characteristics and nature of regional vegetation inrangelands is a prerequisite for any planning and proper range management along withsustainable development of renewable natural resources. Rangelands in southern andwestern highlands of Kashan, Iran are of good vegetation diversity but unfortunately,palatable and desirable species are endangered in recent years. This rese...
