Assessing of plant functional traits to Environmental Factors using RLQ and Q-corner Methods (Case study: Zeyar rangeland, Mazandaran province)
The functional properties of a plant can link the plant physiology with community and ecosystem processes. Thus it provides an appropriate tool for investigation of environmental changes and biodiversity. For this purpose, Zeiar rangeland of Damavand Mountain were selected as the 6000ha study area. A stratified-random sampling method was used for the sampling of vegetation and soil. Topograph...
متن کاملNiche partitioning among Prochlorococcus ecotypes along ocean-scale environmental gradients.
Prochlorococcus is the numerically dominant phytoplankter in the oligotrophic oceans, accounting for up to half of the photosynthetic biomass and production in some regions. Here, we describe how the abundance of six known ecotypes, which have small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences that differ by less than 3%, changed along local and basin-wide environmental gradients in the Atlantic Ocean. Temp...
متن کاملThe relationship between the morphological traits of the medicinal plant Stachys inflata Benth and environmental factors
Background and purpose: Stachys inflata Benth from Lamiaceae family, as one of the most important medicinal species widely used among people and industries, and the aerial parts of this plant are used as an anti-inflammatory and pulmonary infection medicine. This species is widely distributed in the world and especially in different parts of the country. Considering the significant distribution...
متن کاملEnvironmental causes for plant biodiversity gradients.
One of the most pervasive patterns observed in biodiversity studies is the tendency for species richness to decline towards the poles. One possible explanation is that high levels of environmental energy promote higher species richness nearer the equator. Energy input may set a limit to the number of species that can coexist in an area or alternatively may influence evolutionary rates. Within f...
متن کاملMicrobially Mediated Plant Functional Traits
Plants are rife with bacteria and fungi that colonize roots and shoots both externally and internally. By providing novel nutritional and defense pathways and influencing plant biochemical pathways, microbes can fundamentally alter plant phenotypes. Here we review the widespread nature of microbially mediated plant functional traits. We highlight that there is likely fitness conflict between ho...
