Co-occurrence frequency in vegetation patches decreases towards the harsh edge along an arid volcanic elevational gradient<sup>a</sup>
Eibes, Pia M.; Eisenbacher, Judith; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Field, Richard; Jentsch, Anke; Köhler, Tina; Vetaas, Ole R.; Irl, Severin D.H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Positive plant–plant interactions are thought to drive vegetation patterns in harsh environments, such as semi-arid areas. According to the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH), the role of positive interactions between species ... -
Diversity of European habitat types is correlated with geography more than climate and human pressure
Cervellini, Marco; Di Musciano, Michele; Zannini, Piero; Fattorini, Simone; Jiménez-Alfaro, Borja; Agrillo, Emiliano; Attorre, Fabio; Angelini, Pierangela; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Casella, Laura; Field, Richard; Fischer, Jan-Christopher; Genovesi, Piero; Hoffmann, Samuel; Irl, Severin D.H.; Nascimbene, Juri; Rocchini, Duccio; Steinbauer, Manuel; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Chiarucci, Alessandro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Habitat richness, that is, the diversity of ecosystem types, is a complex, spatially explicit aspect of biodiversity, which is affected by bioclimatic, geographic, and anthropogenic variables. The distribution of habitat ... -
Geodiversity and biodiversity on a volcanic island: The role of scattered phonolites for plant diversity and performance
Kienle, David; Walentowitz, Anna; Sungur, Leyla; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Irl, Severin D. H.; Jentsch, Anke; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Field, Richard; Beierkuhnlein, Carl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Oceanic islands are cradles of endemism, contributing substantially to global biodiversity. A similarity in magmatic origin translates into high global comparability of substrates of volcanic islands on the oceanic crust ... -
A grid-based map for the Biogeographical Regions of Europe
Cervellini, Marco; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Field, Richard; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Zannini, Pierro; Di Musciano, Michele; Fattorini, Simone; Jiménez-Alfaro, Borja; Rocchini, Duccio; Irl, Severin D.H.; Fischer, Jan-Christopher; Casella, Laura; Angelini, Pirangela; Genovesi, Piero; Nascimbene, Juri; Hoffmann, Samuel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Biogeographical units are widely adopted in ecological research and nature conservation management, even though biogeographical regionalisation is still under scientific debate. The European Environment Agency ... -
Impacts of forest fire on understory species diversity in canary pine ecosystems on the island of La Palma
Weiser, Frank; Sauer, Anna; Gettueva, Daria; Field, Richard; Irl, Severin D. H.; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Hoffmann, Samuel; Fernández-Palacios, José María; Otto, Rüdiger; Jentsch, Anke; Provenzale, Antonello; Beierkuhnlein, Carl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-25)Forest fires are drivers of spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of vegetation and biodiversity. On the Canary Islands, large areas of pine forest exist, dominated by the endemic Canary Island pine, Pinus canariensis C. ... -
Remote sensing of β-diversity: Evidence from plant communities in a semi-natural system
Hoffmann, Samuel; Schmitt, Thomas M; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Irl, Severin D.H.; Rocchini, Duccio; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Tanase, Mihai A; Mermoz, Stephane; Bouvet, Alexandre; Beierkuhnlein, Carl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Question: Do remote sensing signals represent β‐diversity? Does β‐diversity agree with community types? Location: UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve, La Palma, Canary Islands. Methods: We recorded perennial, vascular ...
