Mutual replacement of species in space in a grassland community: is there an evidence for functional complementarity of replacement groups?
Original language description
Many plant communities show strong fine-scale spatiotemporal dynamics due to frequent natality and mortality events. This process is often non-random, implying that the community can be broken into groups within which species mutually replace each otherin time and are distinct from the other such groups. We examined whether such groups fill separate niches and are functionally complementary in a species-rich mountain grassland. We used cluster analysis of fine-scale spatial data time series to discernwhich species were more likely to replace each other in space. Next, a four-year removal experiment (removing one group in each experimental treatment, or similar amount of biomass across all groups) was used to determine whether simultaneous occurrenceof all these groups would maintain a greater total biomass than if an entire group were eliminated. The results do not support the hypothesis that the simultaneous presence of groups of species that replace each other in space is necessar
