The ternary diagram of functional diversity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Abstract Among the many diversity indices in the ecologist toolbox, measures that can be partitioned into additive terms are particularly useful as the different components can be related to different ecological processes shaping community structure. In this paper, an additive diversity decomposition is proposed to partition the diversity structure ...

High functional diversity is related to high nitrogen availability in a deciduous forest - evidence from a functional trait approach [PDF]

, 2010
The current study tested the assumption that floristic and functional diversity patterns are negatively related to soil nitrogen content. We analyzed 20 plots with soil N-contents ranging from 0.63% to 1.06% in a deciduous forest near Munich (Germany ...

A Functional Approach to Diversity Profiles

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C: Applied Statistics, 2009
SummaryDiversity plays a central role in ecological theory and its conservation and management are important issues for the wellbeing and stability of ecosystems. The aim of this work is to provide a reliable theoretical framework for performing statistical analysis on ecological diversity by means of the joint use of diversity profiles and functional ...

The role of climate and plant functional trade-offs in shaping global biome and biodiversity patterns [PDF]

, 2010
Aim: Two of the oldest observations in plant geography are the increase in plant diversity from the poles towards the tropics and the global geographic distribution of vegetation physiognomy (biomes). The objective of this paper is to use a process-based

Taxonomic description curves of major lineages are influenced by biological and societal factors

Scientific Reports
Taxonomic description curves illustrate how the rate of new species descriptions changes over time. Their variability and overall shape are influenced by both biological properties and societal factors.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...
