Testing the environmental filtering concept in global drylands. [PDF]

J Ecol, 2017
International audience1. The environmental filtering hypothesis predicts that the abiotic environment selects species withsimilar trait values within communities.

Environmental Filtering Is a Relic. A Response to Cadotte and Tucker [PDF]

Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Cadotte and Tucker, in the recent issue of TREE (pp. 429–437) ask the question whether the concept of environmental filtering should be abandoned. Environmental filtering has been defined as the set of abiotic environmental conditions that select for the establishment of a group of species in a given habitat [1,2].

Traits, Habitats, and Clades: Identifying Traits of Potential Importance to Environmental Filtering [PDF]

American Naturalist, 2009
Environmental filtering is a fundamental process in the ecological assembly of communities. Recently developed phylogenetic tools identify patterns associated with environmental filtering across whole communities.

Interaction of seed dispersal and environmental filtering affects woody encroachment patterns in coastal grassland

Ecosphere, 2019
Encroachment of woody plants into grasslands has occurred worldwide and includes coastal ecosystems. This conversion process is mediated by seed dispersal patterns, environmental filtering, and biotic interactions.

Rangeland management practices modulated trait-based plant community assembly through environmental filtering in Hulun Buir Steppe

Ecological Indicators
Eurasian temperate steppes have undergone significant land-use changes in recent decades, leading to a considerable decline in species diversity and community productivity, with implications for sustainable rangeland management.

Environmental Filtering by pH and Salinity Jointly Drives Prokaryotic Community Assembly in Coastal Wetland Sediments

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Understanding the microbial community assembly is an essential topic in microbial ecology. Coastal wetlands are an important blue carbon sink, where microbes play a key role in biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and energy transformation.

Relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes for beta diversity of bird assemblages in Yunnan, China

Ecosphere, 2021
Evaluating the relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes underlying taxonomic and functional beta diversity is crucial in community ecology, because it can reveal the dominant processes of community assembly.

Environmental filtering and environmental stress shape regional patterns of riparian community assembly and functional diversity [PDF]

, 2023
Riparian plant communities are key to ecosystem functioning and important providers of ecosystem services on which wildlife and people depend. Ecosystem functioning and stability depend on functional diversity and redundancy.

Stream diatom assemblages in an Arctic catchment: diversity and relationship to ecosystem-scale primary production

Arctic Science, 2021
We quantified benthic diatom diversity in streams in the Miellajokka catchment, about 200 km north of the Arctic circle in Sweden. Beta diversity among sites was related to local-scale environmental heterogeneity (occurring on the order of 1 km or less),

Regionally Varying Habitat Relationships in Lichens: The Concept and Evidence with an Emphasis on North-Temperate Ecosystems

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Habitat ecology of lichens (lichen-forming fungi) involves diverse adaptations to stressful environments where lichens use specific habitat conditions.
