Species-area curves revisited: the effects of model choice on parameter sensitivity to environmental, community, and individual plant characteristics
Original language description
Species-area curves are often employed to identify factors affecting biodiversity patterns. The aim of this study was to determine how model choice affects biological interpretation of SAC parameters at a small scale in wet, temperate meadows (A1/2elezn,hory Mts, Czech Republic). We estimated 88 species-area curves in nested plots on areas ranging from 0.01 to 4 m(2) at 22 localities using four different models (Arrhenius, Gleason, and their log transformations). Relationships were tested between the parameters of the fitted curves (slope and intercept) and a number of environmental and vegetation characteristics (environmental-water table, pH, nutrient availability, organic matter content; community-productivity, evenness; and individual plant-shootcyclicity, persistence of connection among ramets, multiplication rate, dispersal ability). Species diversity was calculated for 0.01, 1, and 4 m(2). The corrected Akaike information criterion was used to identify the best model. The mode
