Soil matters: soil variables remarkably increase explained variation of tree beta diversity in forest dynamics plot
Original language description
Variation partitioning of species composition into components explained by environmental and spatial variables is often used to identify a signature of niche- and dispersal-based processes in community assembly. Such interpretation, however, strongly depends on the quality of available environmental data. In recent studies conducted in forest dynamics plots, environment was represented only by readily available topographical variables. Using data from subtropical broad-leaved dynamics plot in Taiwan, wefocus on the question whether topographical variables are sufficient to quantify environmental control imposed on vegetation, and how is it improved by including also soil variables. Our results based on variation partitioning among environmental variables and spatial descriptors (represented by PCNM axes) indicate that soil plays far more important role than topography, and that most of ecological information carried by topographical variables is redundant when soil variables are consi
