Dimensions of invasiveness: Links between local abundance, geographic range siz...
Fristoe, Trevor S; Chytrý, Milan; Dawson, Wayne; Essl, Franz; Heleno, Ruben; Kreft, Holger; Maurel, Noëlie; Pergl, Jan; Pyšek, Petr; Seebens, HannoUnderstanding drivers of success for alien species can inform on potential future invasions. Recent conceptual advances highlight that species may achieve invasiveness via performance along at least three distinct dimensions: 1) local abundance, 2) geographic range size, and 3) habitat breadth in naturalized distributions. Associations among these dimensions and the factors that determine success in each have y...
Classification of the Mediterranean lowland to submontane pine forest vegetation
Bonari, Gianmaria; Fernández-González, Federico; Çoban, Süleyman; Monteiro-Henriques, Tiago; Bergmeier, Erwin; Didukh, Yakiv P.; Xystrakis, FotiosAim: Vegetation types of Mediterranean thermophilous pine forests dominated by Pinus brutia, Pinus halepensis, Pinus pinaster and Pinus pinea were studied in various areas. However, a comprehensive formal vegetation classification of these forests based on a detailed data analysis has never been developed. Our aim is to provide the first broad-scale classification of these pine forests based on a large data set...
CircumMed+Euro pine forest database: an electronic archive for Mediterranean an...
Bonari, Gianmaria; Knollova, Ilona; Vickova, Pavla; Xystrakis, Fotios; Çoban, Suleyman; Saglam, Coskum; Didukh, Yakiv P.; Hennekens, Stephan M.Large thematic databases of vegetation-plots are increasingly needed for vegetation studies and biodiversity research. In this paper, we present the CircumMed+Euro Pine Forest Database (GIVD ID: EU-00-026), which in September 2018 encompassed 5590 records from pine-dominated vegetation plots (relevés) and associated vegetation types from 23 countries of temperate Europe, Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa. ...
Vegetation of Europe: hierarchical floristic classification system of vascular ...
Mucina, Ladislav; Bültmann, Helga; Dierßen, Klaus; Theurillat, Jean Paul; Raus, Thomas; Carni, Andraz; Šumberová, Katerina; Willner, WolfgangVegetation classification consistent with the Braun-Blanquet approach is widely used in Europe for applied vegetation science, conservation planning and land management. During the long history of syntaxonomy, many concepts and names of vegetation units have been proposed, but there has been no single classification system integrating these units. Here we (1) present a comprehensive, hierarchical, syntaxonomic ...
