Interaction between physiographic factors with diversity of plant functional groups in central Zagros forests (Case study: Hashtadpahlo forest, Lorestan)
The present study was performed to identify diversity indices of herb layer functional groups and its relation to physiographical factors in central Zagros forest, Lorestan. For this purpose, sampling of herbaceous plants was conducted randomly in plots of 2×2 m (n=50) in site. All plants were classified to functional groups including forbs, graminoids and legumes, also Raunkiaerchr('39')s life...

متن کاملβ-Diversity of Functional Groups of Woody Plants in a Tropical Dry Forest in Yucatan
Two main theories have attempted to explain variation in plant species composition (β-diversity). Niche theory proposes that most of the variation is related to environment (environmental filtering), whereas neutral theory posits that dispersal limitation is the main driver of β-diversity. In this study, we first explored how α- and β-diversity of plant functional groups defined by growth form ...
متن کاملFunctional decay in tree community within tropical fragmented landscapes: Effects of landscape-scale forest cover
As tropical rainforests are cleared, forest remnants are increasingly isolated within agricultural landscapes. Understanding how forest loss impacts on species diversity can, therefore, contribute to identifying the minimum amount of habitat required for biodiversity maintenance in human-modified landscapes. Here, we evaluate how the amount of forest cover, at the landscape scale, affects patte...
متن کاملRegeneration of Different Plant Functional Types in a Masson Pine Forest Following Pine Wilt Disease
Pine wilt disease is a severe threat to the native pine forests in East Asia. Understanding the natural regeneration of the forests disturbed by pine wilt disease is thus critical for the conservation of biodiversity in this realm. We studied the dynamics of composition and structure within different plant functional types (PFTs) in Masson pine forests affected by pine wilt disease (PWD). Based...
