Community assembly processes along a sub Mediterranean elevation gradient: analyzing the interdependence of trait community weighted mean and functional diversity
Original language description
Community weighted mean (CWM) and functional diversity (FD) describe the two aspects of plant communities functional structure. While they have been often used separately to infer assembly processes, their covariation can actually provide useful insights into the prevalence of a particular assembly process over the other. We propose a framework where positive or negative covariation of these indices can be related to different assembly processes along an environmental gradient. We tested this framework in grassland communities along elevation gradient in Central Apennines by collecting species cover and traits of the most abundant species and calculating the effect size CWM and FD. We performed major axis regression for each effect size of CWM FD relationship for different belts along the elevation gradient. The observation that Plant Height showed a positive CWM FD relationship only under more stressful conditions indicates that there may be a tendency towards habitat filtering. Seed Mass showing po
