Contrasting drivers of community-level trait variation for vascular plants, lichens and bryophytes across an elevational gradient by Roos, Ruben E., van Zuijlen, Kristel, Birkemoe, Tone, Klanderud, Kari, Lang, Simone I., Bokhorst, Stef, Wardle, David A., Asplund, Johan

“…Across environmental gradients, community‐level functional traits of plants can change due to species turnover, intraspecific variation and their covariation. Studies on vascular plants suggest that species turnover is the main driver of trait variation across gradients, although intraspecific variation can also be important. …”

Cross-scale analysis of the region effect on vascular plant species diversity in southern and northern European mountain ranges. by Jonathan Lenoir, Jean-Claude Gégout, Antoine Guisan, Pascal Vittoz, Thomas Wohlgemuth, Niklaus E Zimmermann, Stefan Dullinger, Harald Pauli, Wolfgang Willner, John-Arvid Grytnes, Risto Virtanen, Jens-Christian Svenning

“…METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We carried out a cross-scale analysis to address this question for vascular plants in two mountain regions, the Alps in southern Europe and the Scandes in northern Europe, using environmentally paired vegetation plots in the two regions (n = 403 in each region) to quantify four diversity components: (i) total number of species occurring in a region (total γ-diversity), (ii) number of species that could occur in a target plot after environmental filtering (habitat-specific γ-diversity), (iii) pair-wise species compositional turnover between plots (plot-to-plot β-diversity) and (iv) number of species present per plot (plot α-diversity). …”

Alice Pinto, Alexander Keller

“…Herein, we constructed a curated (i) global dataset, (ii) European crop dataset, and (iii) 27 datasets for the EU countries for the ITS2 barcoding marker of vascular plants. To that end, we first developed a pipeline script that entails (i) an automated curation stage comprising five filters, (ii) manual taxonomic correction for misclassified taxa, and (iii) manual addition of newly sequenced species. …”
