Biodiversity Within and Beyond the Native Distribution of Tree Species: The Case of Pinus nigra Forests in Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

AimForests dominated by non-native trees are becoming increasingly common. However, their impact on biodiversity remains uncertain, with a debate on whether they represent 'green deserts' or secondary habitats for biodiversity. We addressed this question by evaluating the patterns and ecological drivers of taxonomic and functional understory diversity between black pine (Pinus nigra) forests within and outside its native distribution range.LocationEurope.MethodsWe collected a continental database of vegetation plots with full species composition and related functional traits. We compared alpha- and beta-taxonomic (TD) and functional (FD) diversity between understories of P. nigra forests within and outside its native distribution range, and modelled the relative effects of climate, soil conditions, and canopy cover.ResultsWe found similar values of alpha- and beta-TD and -FD in forests within and outside the native range. The response to local and large-scale drivers was also similar, with high canopy cover reducing alpha-TD and alpha-FD but enhancing beta-TD and beta-FD in both forest systems. Soil nutrients enhanced alpha-TD and alpha-FD and decreased beta-FD only in forests within the native range, while drought reduced alpha- and beta-diversities only in forests outside the native range.Main ConclusionsThe same dominant tree species under similar ecological conditions resulted in low diversity differentiation between forests both within and outside P. nigra native range. Nevertheless, understory diversity was sensitive to different ecological drivers, with stronger effects of soil fertility and moisture on forests within and outside native ranges, respectively. These results suggest that P. nigra forests established beyond the species' native range exhibit similar diversity metrics and ecosystem functions as those within its native range. Our findings may be linked to the fact that P. nigra forests outside the native range were placed in the same biogeographical region as the corresponding forest stands within the native range.
