Hay meadows' overriding effect shapes ground beetle functional diversity in mountainous landscapes

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Mountain regions are hotspots of biodiversity, and are particularly sensitive to human activities and global changes. Characterizing biodiversity using trait‐based approaches may improve the understanding of the evolutionary and mechanistic basis of ecological patterns in species distribution.

Vegetation types of the Arid Chaco in Central-Western Argentina [PDF]

Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS), 2023
Aims: We address the following questions: 1) Which are the main vegetation types that currently occur in the Arid Chaco? 2) Do those vegetation types differ in terms of floristic composition, endemism, chorotypes and life forms?

Longitudinal vegetation turnover in an eastern Rift Valley riparian corridor

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 27-42, March 2022., 2022
Abstract East African riparian corridors are biodiversity hot spots that occur in catchments degrading under deforestation and overgrazing. Quadrats and belt transects were employed to investigate plant succession along the River Gilgil, in the Kenyan Rift Valley. The study found that most species (total 365) were broadly distributed across the tropics,

Phytosociological survey of the desert vegetation of Sinai, Egypt

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 24, Issue 4, October/December 2021., 2021
For the first time, we present a syntaxonomy of Sinai desert vegetation, and its phytosociology. We compiled a comprehensive database and applied different analyses to it. We found nine classes: Salicornietea fruticosae, Retametea raetam, Haloxylonetea salicornici, Retamo‐Tamaricetea fluviatilis, Acacietea tortilis, Artemisietea herbae‐albae ...

On the concept of chorotype [PDF]

Journal of Biogeography, 2015
AbstractRecent reviews of the meaning of the word ‘chorotype’ in biogeography have led to contrasting definitions and a confusion of concepts. This is because ‘chorotype’ has been used by different authors to express two different concepts: (1) groups of species with overlapping ranges (overall distributions) and (2) groups of species with a similar ...

fuzzySim: applying fuzzy logic to binary similarity indices in ecology [PDF]

, 2015
Binary similarity indices are widely used in ecology, for example for detecting associations between species occurrence patterns, comparing regional and temporal species assemblages, and assessing beta diversity patterns, including spatial and temporal ...

Le chorotype de l’estuaire européen

Mappemonde, 1995
Les grands estuaires européens sont des territoires complexes. Cette complexité est liée à la rupture entre les espaces maritime et continental ; ce sont donc des lieux d’enjeux et de conflits pour les divers acteurs qui structurent leur territoire.
