Real communities of virtual plants explain biodiversity on just three assumptions

چکیده
Abstract To illuminate mechanisms supporting diversity in plant communities, we construct 2D cellular automata and ‘grow’ virtual plants real experiments. The are 19 different, fully validated functional types drawn from universal adaptive strategy theory. scale of approach is far beyond that even the most ambitious investigations physical world. By simulating 496 billion plant–environment interactions, succeed creating conditions sustain high realistically indefinitely. Our simulations manipulate levels of, degree heterogeneity supply resources, external disturbances invading propagules. We fail to reproduce this outcome when adopt assumptions unified neutral our experiments respond complete accordance with find spatial a strong contributor long-term diversity, but temporal less so. strongest support all comes an incursion propagules simulated. enter caveats suggest further directions for working science. conclude although (i) differentiation life into distinct types, (ii) presence environmental (iii) opportunity invasion by can individually promote biodiversity, three appear be necessary simultaneously its maintenance. Though further, possibly more complex, sets processes could additionally involved, consider it unlikely any set minimal than those described here would sufficient deliver same outcome.

Understanding the plant species diversity could be used as an importantindicator applied for the natural areas management. The aim of this study was toinvestigate the relationships between soil characterizes with distribution and diversity ofplant in vegetation types in Karvan district (located in west of Isfahan province). For thispurpose, three vegetation types were selected as follows: Scari...
متن کاملLearning in virtual worlds: Using communities of practice to explain how people learn from play
Although there is interest in the educational potential of online multiplayer games and virtual worlds, there is still little evidence to explain specifically what and how people learn from these environments. This paper addresses this issue by exploring the experiences of couples that play World of Warcraft together. Learning outcomes were identified (involving the management of ludic, social ...
متن کاملThirdspace: The Trialectics of the Real, Virtual and Blended Spaces
This article aims to redefine the concept of Thirdspace and make a trilateral relationship between the three concepts of real space, virtual space and the user. To do so, not only the concept of Thirdspace has to be redefined, but also a new understanding of virtual space as a relatively independent space is required. This three-sided relation requires a new understanding of the relationship be...
