Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation : Evidence from Palaearctic...
Dengler, Jürgen; Matthews, Thomas J.; Steinbauer, Manuel J.; Wolfrum, Sebastian; Boch, Steffen; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Conradi, Timo; Dembicz, IwonaAIM: Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes at finer spatial grains in continuous vegetation. We asked which function describes SARs best at small grains and explored how sampling methodology or the environment influence SAR shape. L...
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. ...
