Plant species coexistence at local scale in temperate swamp forest: test of habitat heterogeneity hypothesis

Original language description

It has been suggested that a heterogeneous environment enhances species richness and allows for the coexistence of species. However, there is increasing evidence that environmental heterogeneity can have no effect or even a negative effect on plant species richness and plant coexistence at a local scale. We examined whether plant species richness increases with local heterogeneity in the water table depth, microtopography, pH and light availability in a swamp forest community at three local spatial scales (grain: 0.6, 1.2 and 11.4 m). We also used the variance partitioning approach to assess the relative contributions of niche-based and other spatial processes to species occurrence. We found that heterogeneity in microtopography and light availabilitypositively correlated with species richness, in accordance with the habitat heterogeneity hypothesis. However, we recorded different heterogeneity?diversity relationships for particular functional species groups. An increase in the richne
