Role of way of life, latitude, elevation and climate on the richness and distribution of orchid species

Original language description

We are experiencing climate warming that is likely to affect all regions worldwide,nalthough in a different manner, when its consequences (e.g. increase of temperature, lowernseasonality, lower environmental stochasticity) are considered. Thus, our prediction of hownglobal change will affect distribution and survival of species can be estimated by usingnour knowledge, how species richness and distribution is related with latitude and elevation.nWe used 193 terrestrial orchid species and subspecies as an example and we classifiednthem according to their root system. This trait represents the evolution of strategies fornunderground storage of resources and resource acquisition as well as a characteristics thatncan be described as a life history trait. Classification of orchid life history traits that focusnon belowground strategies has never been examined in a macroecological study. We thennexplored the associations between species richness, mean niche breadth and mean distributionnon one hand and selected predictors on the other hand, using regression techniques fornall orchids, and then for their subsets with different root systems. The predictive power, asnwell as the significance of the predictors, was also tested using polynomial second orderngeneralized linear models. Species richness for the three belowground strategies was significantlynaffected by the predictors, whereas their mean niche breadth and mean distributionnwere largely dependent on their evolutionary history. The correlations of mean nichenbreadth and mean distribution with maximum elevation, latitude and longitude were significantnfor all orchid taxa and their subsets. All the variables together accounted for almostn50% or more of the variance in each of the subsets. The maximum elevation was the mostnsignificant factor for rhizomatous and intermediate orchids, whereas minimum temperaturenin the coldest month was highly significant for the tuberous orchids. Spatial distributionnof Greek orchids is associated with a combination of elevation, latitude and climate. Thendistributions of rhizomatous and intermediate orchids are mainly associated with the orographicnconfiguration of Greece, whereas the tuberous orchids are widely distributed in thensouthern, central and north-western areas of Greece, where most of them are limited by thenharsh winter climate.
