Vegetation classificationVegetation clusteringVegetation community ecologyVegetation modellingAim A 'good' classification should provide information about the composition and abundance of the species within communities, if it serves as an informative surrogate for biodiversity. A natural way to formalize this ...
A strength of our analysis is the ability to map model uncertainty to identify transition zones at unit boundaries. The output of this study provides a biotic driven classification that can be used to better achieve representativity in the MPA planning process. 展开 ...

In community ecology, it is important to understand the distribution of communities along environmental and spatial gradients. However, it is common for the residuals of models investigating those relationships to be very high (> 50%). It is believed that species’ intrinsic characteristics such ...

and decomposition, we also show that fast trait communities are associated with faster rates of ecosystem functioning. These findings demonstrate that ‘slow’ and ‘fast’ strategies can be manifested at the level of whole communities, opening new avenues of ecosystem-level functional classification. ...
Table 1 summarizes a general classification of direct ecological interactions. Although a wide range of interactions occur in nature, ecological network studies to date have tended to focus on three types of interactions: parasitism, mutualism and trophic interactions. Other types of interactions have ...

In freshwater ecology, diatoms have long been used as a model taxonomic group to study microbial communities’ diversity patterns9,10,11. However, despite important progress, uncertainty persists regarding the ecological forces driving diatom community assembly. These questions have traditionally been addre...
Microbes play vital roles across coral reefs both in the environment and inside and upon macrobes (holobionts), where they support critical functions such as nutrition and immune system modulation. These roles highlight the potential ecosystem-level impo
