Scale‐dependent shifts in functional and phylogenetic structure of Mediterranean Island plant communities over two centuries
Abstract Since the Industrial Revolution, the rapid global population and economic
expansion have had tremendous impacts on biodiversity across spatial scales, especially for …

Vascular plant diversity in a changing world: global centres and biome-specific patterns
We summarize research on the global centres and gradients of vascular plant diversity. Most
centres of plant species richness are located in geodiverse areas of the humid tropics and …
