Species diversity mirrors the results of various ecosystem processes (Ward and Tockner, 2001). Despite almost a century of research interest in plant species diversity aimed discerning its predictors, this topic still remains among the key issues of community ecology (Sutherland et al., 2013). Th...

Ecosystem or habitat types (henceforth ‘habitats’) are defined based on their physiognomy, species composition, and abiotic environment. They can be considered as biodiversity surrogates (Rodrigues and Brooks, 2007), each of them providing the environment for a set of specialized taxa. Therefore, ...

The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems (RLE) is a global standard for ecosystem risk assessment that integrates data and knowledge to document the relative risk status of ecosystem types as critically endangered (CR), endangered (EN), and vulnerable (VU). A series of indicators for each type gauge ...
The community of living species interacts with the environment’s non-living components in a healthy ecosystem. Rainfall, temperature, sunlight, soil, and water chemistry are the main examples of abiotic (无生命的) aspects of ecosystems that need to be in a stable manner. ...
