Beta diversity (β) is used in biogeography, ecology, and conservation to assess the
heterogeneity of local communities. Ideally, researchers could include sensitivity to error in …

The diversity and composition of soil microbial community in forests are affected by
vegetation type, season, and soil properties, but the relative importance of these factors on …

Aims Both ecological drift and environmental heterogeneity can produce high beta diversity
among communities, but only the effect of drift is expected to be enhanced in communities of …

Natural regeneration of forests has significantly led to increased native forest cover in some
regions. Several studies have explored the spatial drivers of forest cover increase, yet little is …

Diamond is one of the most promising candidates for high power and high temperature
applications, due to its large bandgap and high thermal conductivity. As a result of the …

In an era of climate change, the availability of empirical data on alpine summit vegetation in
the Himalaya is still scarce. Here we report the assessment of alpine summit flora in …

Post-fire succession is an ideal case for studying effects of disturbance on community
assembly, and the key is to disentangle the contributions of assembly processes to the …

Biodiversity encompasses multiple facets, among which taxonomic, functional and
phylogenetic aspects are the most often considered. Understanding how those diversity …

Promoting information spreading is a booming research topic in network science community.
However, the existing studies about promoting information spreading seldom took into …

In this paper the permutation entropy based on Hill's diversity number (N n, r) is introduced
as a new way to assess the complexity of a complex dynamical system such as stock market …
