Patterns of local plant diversity and community saturation in deciduous forests in Europe
Questions
How do local forest conditions and characteristics at the forest patch - scale and landscape - scale affect plot-scale plant diversity in Europe? Do these patterns vary between forest specialists and generalists? Do community saturation patterns differ between forests varying in their surrounding landscape type?
Location
Deciduous forests sampled along a European gradient from southwest to northeast comprising eight regions in five countries (France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Estonia).
Methods
We examined the effects of local conditions assessed by means of Ellenberg indicator values (soil moisture, soil nitrogen, soil pH, light availability), patch-scale characteristics (patch-scale plant diversity, forest patch age, forest patch size) and a landscape-scale variable (representing low and high connectivity of forest patches) on plot-scale plant diversity, separately for forest specialist and generalist species. Additionally, we ran regression models to examine community saturation patterns.
Results
We found patterns of niche partitioning among forest specialists and generalists. Low light availability and medium soil moisture favored forest specialists, while generalists were mostly present at higher light availability and medium and high soil moisture. In general, we found the highest plot-scale diversity at medium soil pH. Patch-scale diversity showed a positive impact on plot-scale diversity and plots in the high-connectivity landscape had a higher diversity than plots in the low-connectivity landscape. Further, we observed a high degree of community saturation in both landscape types.
Conclusion
The positive impact of a high connectivity of forest patches on local plant diversity emphasizes the importance of small semi-natural habitats like tree lines, unused field margins and hedgerows to enhance the potential dispersal of forest plants across agricultural landscapes. Community saturation patterns revealed the increasing relevance of local conditions and processes for plot-scale diversity when patch-scale diversity increases.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Vegetation Science publishes papers on all aspects of plant community ecology, with particular emphasis on papers that develop new concepts or methods, test theory, identify general patterns, or that are otherwise likely to interest a broad international readership. Papers may focus on any aspect of vegetation science, e.g. community structure (including community assembly and plant functional types), biodiversity (including species richness and composition), spatial patterns (including plant geography and landscape ecology), temporal changes (including demography, community dynamics and palaeoecology) and processes (including ecophysiology), provided the focus is on increasing our understanding of plant communities. The Journal publishes papers on the ecology of a single species only if it plays a key role in structuring plant communities. Papers that apply ecological concepts, theories and methods to the vegetation management, conservation and restoration, and papers on vegetation survey should be directed to our associate journal, Applied Vegetation Science journal.
