Relationships between plant species Richness and environmental factors in nature Reserves at different spatial scales
The relationships between species richness and driving factors might vary with taxa and spatial scale. For this study we used plant species data of eight groups from nature reserves in China, namely pteridophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms, vascular plants, Chinese endemic species, rare and endangered plants, woody plants, and herbaceous plants, and eight putative environmental predictors to exp...
متن کاملCorridors increase plant species richness at large scales.
Habitat fragmentation is one of the largest threats to biodiversity. Landscape corridors, which are hypothesized to reduce the negative consequences of fragmentation, have become common features of ecological management plans worldwide. Despite their popularity, there is little evidence documenting the effectiveness of corridors in preserving biodiversity at large scales. Using a large-scale re...
متن کاملAggregation influences coral species richness at multiple spatial scales.
The spatial dispersion of individuals across multiple spatial scales can significantly influence biodiversity patterns. Here we characterize the dispersion of corals in reef assemblages distributed across a 10000-km longitudinal biodiversity gradient from Indonesia to the Society Islands, using a multiscale sampling design. Our results indicate that most coral species were aggregated among 10-m...
متن کاملOpposite relationships between invasibility and native species richness at patch versus landscape scales
Using a nested plot design in oak forests in Minnesota, USA we measured the percent cover of young individuals of an exotic invading shrub, Rhamnus cathartica (common buckthorn), to assess the relationships at two scales between invasibility, propagule and light availability, and richness and cover of native species. Comparing patches (1 m) within 17 Quercus -dominated stands (each 1 ha, within...
متن کاملRelationships between Environmental Factors and Plant Communities in Enclosure Rangelands (Case study: Gonbad, Hamadan)
Exclusion and not using of rangeland in the long term affects the composition and homogeneity of vegetation and consequently leads to the improvement of plants status. In this study, the characteristics and structural changes of the rangeland of Gonbad, Hamadan province, Iran, in 2014 (after 20 years of enclosure) were evaluated using Braun-Blanquet plot, Phytosociology and multivariate analysi...
