Plant community diversity will decline more than increase under climatic warming
S Harrison - … Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Regions and localities may lose many species to extinction under rapid climate change and
may gain other species that colonize from nearby warmer environments. Here, it is argued …

Linking plant functional ecology to island biogeography
The study of insular systems has a long history in ecology and biogeography. Island plants
often differ remarkably from their noninsular counterparts, constituting excellent models for …

Managing climate-change refugia to prevent extinctions
Earth is facing simultaneous biodiversity and climate crises. Climate-change refugia–areas
that are relatively buffered from climate change–can help address both of these problems by …

Environmental heterogeneity dynamics drive plant diversity on oceanic islands
MP Barajas‐Barbosa, P Weigelt… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Aim The General Dynamic Model (GDM) links island biogeographical processes to
island geological history. A key premise of the GDM implies that environmental factors …

An escape-to-radiate model for explaining the high plant diversity and endemism in campos rupestres
With extraordinary levels of plant diversity and endemism, the Brazilian campos rupestres
across the Espinhaço Range have a species/area ratio 40 times higher than the lowland …

Karst dolines provide diverse microhabitats for different functional groups in multiple phyla
Fine-scale topographic complexity creates important microclimates that can facilitate species
to grow outside their main distributional range and increase biodiversity locally. Enclosed …
