Native and alien plant species inventory and diversity in disturbed forests and its economic value
The study was conducted to assess the native and alien plant species in one of the highly disturbed forest (S1) and less disturbed forest (S2) in Mt. Manunggal, Cebu Island, Philippines. Twenty-four quadrats with a size of 20mx20 m were established using a quadrat sampling technique to identify and record all plant species. Diversity indices were utilized to determine species abundance, richnes...
متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity influences native and nonnative plant species richness.
Spatial heterogeneity may have differential effects on the distribution of native and nonnative plant species richness. We examined the effects of spatial heterogeneity on native and nonnative plant species richness distributions in the central part of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA. Spatial heterogeneity around vegetation plots was characterized using landscape metrics, environmen...
متن کاملNative and Alien Plant Species Richness Response to Soil Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Temperate Floodplain and Swamp Forests
Soil nitrogen and phosphorus are commonly limiting elements affecting plant species richness in temperate zones. Our species richness-ecological study was performed in alder-dominated forests representing temperate floodplains (streamside alder forests of Alnion incanae alliance) and swamp forests (alder carrs of Alnion glutinosae alliance) in the Western Carpathians. Species richness (i.e., th...
متن کاملOrigin matters: diversity affects the performance of alien invasive species but not of native species.
At local scales, it has often been found that invasibility decreases with increasing resident plant diversity. However, whether resident community diversity similarly resists invasion by alien versus native species is seldom studied. We examined this issue by invading constructed native plant assemblages that varied in species and functional richness with invasive alien or native Asteraceae spe...
متن کاملIntroduction bias: Cultivated alien plant species germinate raster and more abundantly than native species in Switzerland
Traits that differ between invasive alien and native plant species are frequently interpreted as traits conferring invasiveness. However. such dilferences could reHect an introduction bias of alien species, particularly clllLivated ones, 01' hllman-medialed selection of cultivars of these species with certain traits. We tested whether this is the case for germination characteristics that are fr...
