Spatial patterns of water-dispersed seed deposition along stream riparian gradients
Riparian ecosystems along streams naturally harbour a high plant diversity with many increasingly endangered species. In our current heavily modified and fragmented catchments, many of these species are sensitive to dispersal limitation. Better understanding of riparian plant dispersal pathways is required to predict species (re-)colonization potential and improve success rates of stream and ri...
متن کاملWind-dispersed seed deposition patterns and seedling recruitment of Artemisia halodendron in a moving sandy land.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Artemisia halodendron is a native sub-shrub that occurs mainly in moving and semi-fixed sandy lands in Inner Mongolia, China. Information on the spatial patterns of wind-dispersed seed deposition and seedling recruitment of A. halodendron inhabiting moving sandy lands is very limited. The aim of this study was to examine wind-dispersed seed deposition patterns and post-dispe...
متن کاملMultitaxonomic Diversity Patterns along a Desert Riparian–Upland Gradient
Riparian areas are noted for their high biodiversity, but this has rarely been tested across a wide range of taxonomic groups. We set out to describe species richness, species abundance, and community similarity patterns for 11 taxonomic groups (forbs & grasses, shrubs, trees, solpugids, spiders, scarab beetles, butterflies, lizards, birds, rodents, and mammalian carnivores) individually and fo...
متن کاملStream and Riparian Ecology
Water is a valuable resource for humans (direct consumption, power, irrigation, industry) and provides essential habitat for many organisms, including highly valued fish species such as salmonids. Aquatic habitat is influenced by processes active not only in the near-stream (riparian) zone (e.g., provision of shade) but also over the entire watershed (e.g., hillslope hydrologic processes that c...
متن کاملBenthic Diatom Community Structure in Boreal Streams Distribution Patterns along Environmental and Spatial Gradients
The past decade has seen growing appreciation of the role of regional influences in determining the structure of local communities. An emerging view among ecologists is that local community composition is controlled by acting of nested filters which select species with suitable traits for prevailing conditions, thus leading communities regulated by local environmental factors and regional, main...
