Topographic indices predict the diversity of Red List and non-native plant species in human-altered riparian ecosystems
Original language description
Disturbance regime and site productivity are considered the main factors shaping plant species assemblages and community diversity in riparian ecosystems, but whether and how topographic indices correlate with these two predictors remains largely unexplored. In this study, the stream power index (SPI) and topographic wetness index (TWI) were calculated as surrogates of flooding-induced disturbances and site productivity, respectively. We used a robust dataset of 879 vegetation plots sampled in temperate floodplain forests of Slovakia with the goal of testing the predictive power of interactions between the SPI and TWI on the diversity patterns of all vascular plants, ferns, woody species, aliens, neophytes and Red List species. Generalized additive models (GAMs) revealed the complementary importance of both predictors for explaining the species richness of different plant guilds in floodplain forests, including non-native and Red List species. The SPI and TWI accounted for 4,0 to 42,0 percentage of t
