Hill numbers or the effective number of species are increasingly used to quantify species diversity of an assemblage. Hill numbers were recently extended to phylogenetic diversity, which incorporates species evolutionary history, as well as to functional

Linking Species Diversity and Landscape Diversity
2005Ecologists generally agree that species diversity is linked to landscape features (Pickett and White 1985, Glenn et al. 1992, Wiens et al. 1993, Rosenzweig 1995, Hoagland and Collins 1997, Ritchie and Olff 1999). We present a conceptual framework for connecting species diversity and landscapes by showing how changes in species assemblages and changes ...

Species Richness and Diversity
2012This chapter reviews the literature on species richness and species diversity. The two concepts are closely related, but are not synonyms. Species richness is estimated dividing the number of species by the geographic area. On the other hand, species diversity is a function of the number of species present (i.e.

Species diversity is dynamic and unbounded at local and continental scales.
American Naturalist, 2015We argue that biotas at scales from local communities to entire continents are nearly always open to new species and that their diversities are far from any ecological limits.

Maintenance of Plant Species Diversity by Pathogens
, 2015We present strong evidence that pathogens play a critical role in structuring plant communities and maintaining plant diversity. Pathogens mediate plant species coexistence through trade-offs between competitive ability and resistance to pathogens and ...

Species Diversity and Biomass Stability
The American Naturalist, 2000With the current accelerating rate of biodiversity extinction, there is great interest in how species diversity influences ecosystem properties. In this article, we investigate the relationship between species diversity and the stability of community biomass in the face of stochastic perturbations of species' abundances.

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria that are capable of nodulating legumes are called rhizobia. Recycling of nitrogen through natural processes, i.e. symbiotic nitrogen fixation is considered as the most appropriated method for the long-term management of nutrients.

Summary1. Species diversity is most simply measured by counting species. More complicated measures, which take into account the relative abundance of the species, have been derived from information theory or from parameters of statistical distributions fitted to the census data.

Disturbance, productivity, and species diversity: empiricism vs. logic in ecological theory
, 2014The “intermediate disturbance hypothesis” and the “intermediate productivity hypothesis” have been widely recognized concepts for explaining patterns of species diversity for the past 40 years.
