Patterns of beta diversity in Europe: the role of climate, land cover and distance across scales

Original language description

We explored if beta diversity and the distance decay of community similarity depend on spatial resolution. We studied if patterns of beta diversity are related to variability in climate, land cover or geographic distance and how the effects of these variables depend on the spatial grain of the data. We used data on European birds, plants, butterflies, amphibians and reptiles, British plants, Catalonian birds and Finnish butterflies. We fitted nested grids of varying resolutions to each of these datasets. For each grid we calculated differences in climate, differences in land-cover composition and beta diversity between all pairs of grid cells. In a separate analysis we looked specifically at pairs of adjacent grid cells (the first distance class). We then identified the magnitude of independent statistical associations of climate, land cover and geographic distance with spatial patterns of beta diversity. Beta diversity at any given distance decreased with increasing grain. Geographic
