20.500.12556/DKUM-89710 Benchmarking plant diversity of Palaearctic grasslands and other open habitats Aims: Understanding fine-grain diversity patterns across large spatial extents is fundamental for macroecological research and biodiversity conservation. Using the GrassPlot database, we provide benchmarks of fine-grain richness values of Palaearctic open habitats for vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and complete vegetation (i.e., the sum of the former three groups). Location: Palaearctic biogeographic realm. Methods: We used 126,524 plots of eight standard grain sizes from the GrassPlot database: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 and 1,000 m2 and calculated the mean richness and standard deviations, as well as maximum, minimum, median, and first and third quartiles for each combination of grain size, taxonomic group, biome, region, vegetation type and phytosociological class. Results: Patterns of plant diversity in vegetation types and biomes differ across grain sizes and taxonomic groups. Overall, secondary (mostly semi-natural) grasslands and natural grasslands are the richest vegetation type. The open-access file ”GrassPlot Diversity Benchmarks” and the web tool “GrassPlot Diversity Explorer” are now available online (https://edgg.org/databases/GrasslandDiversityExplorer) and provide more insights into species richness patterns in the Palaearctic open habitats. Conclusions: The GrassPlot Diversity Benchmarks provide high-quality data on species richness in open habitat types across the Palaearctic. These benchmark data can be used in vegetation ecology, macroecology, biodiversity conservation and data quality checking. While the amount of data in the underlying GrassPlot database and their spatial coverage are smaller than in other extensive vegetation-plot databases, species recordings in GrassPlot are on average more complete, making it a valuable complementary data source in macroecology. benchmark bryophyte fine-grain biodiversity grassland GrassPlot Diversity Explorer lichen open habitat Palaearctic scale dependence species–area relationship vascular plant vegetation plot merilo mahovnjaki biotska raznovrstnost travniki lišaji odprti habitat palearktika odvisnost od obsega razmerje med vrsto in površino vaskularne rastline vegetacijska ploskev true false true Opulus Press, Wiley-Blackwell, John Wiley Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-08-07 07:49:05 2024-08-07 09:48:22 2024-08-08 03:22:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 1-21 Št. 4, št. članka 13050 Letn. 32 Jul./Aug. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2020-11-30 2021-06-12 2021-06-16 581.9 78991619 10.1111/jvs.13050 1654-1103 Biurrun-2021-Benchmarking_plant_diversity_of_P.pdf Biurrun-2021-Benchmarking_plant_diversity_of_P.pdf 1 FBD09DD0C0289843FBE837F3C10A8226 f4dbdbb68fa256a80f4b207e663d597298a7d9cdbdd0d1b353b9b8e5ac166b6f 42b53893-5491-11ef-b534-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=182082 https://doi.org/10.1111/jvs.13050 0 c9a3f0b2-5480-11ef-b534-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=182068 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
