Distance decay 2.0 – A global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities
(Wiley, 2022-07)
Aim: Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (i.e., beta-diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine beta-diversity is to evaluate directional variation ...
Climate-trait relationships exhibit strong habitat specificity in plant communities across Europe
(Nature, 2023)
Ecological theory predicts close relationships between macroclimate and functional traits. Yet, global climatic gradients correlate only weakly with the trait composition of local plant communities, suggesting that important ...
Ellenberg-type indicator values for European vascular plant species
(Wiley, 2023-01)
Aims: Ellenberg-type indicator values are expert-based rankings of plant species according to their ecological optima on main environmental gradients. Here we extend the indicator-value system proposed by Heinz Ellenberg ...
