Accounting for functional diversity in biodiversity protection measures
Globally, countries are becoming increasingly committed to conserving biodiversity. Traditional methods of measuring biodiversity are simple and might miss out on capturing some of the more important functional features that comprise ecosystems. We compare a real‐world conservation program with background vegetation data to explore whether these ...

Is 500m2 an effective plot size to sample floristic diversity for Queensland’s vegetation? [PDF]
Species area curves from 37 sites spanning the diversity of native vegetation in Queensland were examined. For the majority of sites investigated a 500 m2 plot captured about 80–90% of the vascular plant species present at the time of sampling. Floristic

The evolution of tree nursery offerings in Los Angeles County over the last 110 years [PDF]
Interest in urban vegetation has increased dramatically. Urban trees are an important aspect of the urban environment but there is little known about the potential sources of those trees, change in tree species diversity over time and the factors leading

Functional Trait Research in Brazilian Bryophytes: Advances, Biases, and Future Directions
The three‐field plot shows how leading researchers, functional traits, and biomes are interconnected in Brazilian bryophyte ecology. It highlights strong links between reproductive traits and the Atlantic Forest, reflecting research focus and collaboration patterns.

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests. [PDF]
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence

Continuous change in Tanzanian moist forest tree communities with elevation [PDF]
Although some studies in tropical forests suggest the existence of elevational discontinuities, zones or critical altitudes in floristic composition (briefly reviewed by Lovett 1996) two data sets from the Usambara mountains of Tanzania independently ...
