Turnover diversity drives large-scale biodiversity patterns
Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract Understanding biodiversity patterns and how they are driven at different spatial scales is a crucial issue in ecological studies. This is particularly evident for the deep sea, the largest biome of the biosphere...
متن کاملA Integrated Classifier for Large Regional-scale Land-cover Classifying
With a lot of successful applications of neural network-based classification, it has been recognized the classification can produce more accurate results than conventional approaches for remotely-sensed data. Although its training procedure is sensitive to the choice of initial network parameters and to over-fitting, the multilayer feed-forward networks trained by the back-propagation algorithm...
متن کاملThe role of extinction in large-scale diversity-stability relationships.
More-diverse communities are thought to be ecologically stable because a greater number of ecological interactions among members allows for the increases in robustness and resilience. Diversity-stability relationships have mostly been studied on short ecological time scales but one study has identified such patterns over million-year time scales in reef communities. Here we propose and test a h...
متن کاملProductivity-Diversity Relationships in Lake Plankton Communities
One of the most intriguing environmental gradients connected with variation in diversity is ecosystem productivity. The role of diversity in ecosystems is pivotal, because species richness can be both a cause and a consequence of primary production. However, the mechanisms behind the varying productivity-diversity relationships (PDR) remain poorly understood. Moreover, large-scale studies on PD...
متن کاملThe land-cover cascade: relationships coupling land and water.
We introduce the land-cover cascade (LCC) as a conceptual framework to quantify the transfer of land-cover-disturbance effects to stream biota. We hypothesize that disturbance is propagated through multivariate systems through key variables that transform a disturbance and pass a reorganized disturbance effect to the next hierarchical level where the process repeats until ultimately affecting b...
