Patterns of distribution and plant diversity in along elevational gradient (Case study: Moghan-Sabalan rangelands)
The study of plant communities is the best way to learn about vegetation structure and distribution as well as various interactions among the plants in an ecosystem. Elevation factor plays a vital role in plant distribution that ultimately leads to specific phytogeographic regions. This study evaluated the changes in species composition, density, frequency, canopy cover and palatability of spec...

متن کاملThe patterns and causes of elevational diversity gradients
A major focus of research in spatial ecology over the past 25 years has been to understand why the number of species varies geographically. ! e most striking, and perhaps best documented, pattern in spatial ecology is the latitudinal gradient in species diversity in which the number of species, for most taxa, declines with increasing latitude. Understanding the underlying cause(s) of the latitu...
متن کاملResponse to Comments on “Disentangling the Drivers of b Diversity Along Latitudinal and Elevational Gradients”
Both Qian et al. (1) and Tuomisto and Ruokolainen (2) critique the Gentry data sets. Qian et al. state that b diversity among Gentry subplots is not comparable across locations because the spatial orientation of the subplots varies among locations. Subplot spatial orientation varies haphazardly across sites, and no systematic trends in spatial orientation exist. Therefore, gradients in Gentry p...
متن کاملTemperature, but not productivity or geometry, predicts elevational diversity gradients in ants across spatial grains
Aim This research aims to understand the factors that shape elevational diversity gradients and how those factors vary with spatial grain. Specifically, we test the predictions of the species–productivity hypothesis, species–temperature hypothesis, the metabolic theory of ecology and the mid-domain effects null model. We also examine how the effects of productivity and temperature on richness d...
