Effects of Stress on Community Assemblages in Boreal Forests
(2010-04)Two types of plant community assemblage have been studied: stochastic, or random, assemblage and niche?based assemblage. Communities experiencing high stress tend to show niche-based assembly and contain similar species ... -
Plant Functional Trait Dispersion is Influenced by Spatial Scaling and Habitat Type
(2021-04)Community assembly is the result of ecological selection processes, dispersal processes, and random drift processes. Selection processes can cause coexisting species to be more similar or more different in traits depending ... -
Spider Functional Trait Diversity is Correlated to Plant Functional Trait Diversity
(2021-04)Community assembly is the result of ecological selection processes, dispersal processes, and random drift processes. Selection processes can cause coexisting species to be more similar or more different in traits, depending ... -
Taxonomic and Functional Based Beta Diversity in a Western Wisconsin Forest Community Understory : Stochastic Versus Deterministic Community Assembly
(2013-05)Beta diversity is a measurement that defines the amount of variation between communities. High measures of beta diversity imply stochastic community assembly processes whereas low measures of beta diversity imply deterministic ... -
Taxonomic and Functional Beta Diversity in a Forest Mosaic and Its Implications for Community Assembly
(2012-04)Understanding the processes that shape community assembly is one of the key goals of ecology. One possible mechanism of assembly is deterministic assembly, in which species traits determine their ability to establish and ...
