Effects of nitrogen fertilization on vegetation structure and dominance of Brachypodium pinnatum (L.) Beauv. in chalk grassland. niche partitioning, prairie restoration, species diversity, species evenness, species richness, tallgrass prairie. Introduction. Greater than 90% of the area ... Species diversity is measured through a combination of species richness (the number of species present) and species evenness (the abundance of each species). We found that, overall, the absolute effect size of genetic diversity on ecosystem functions mirrors that of species diversity in natural ecosystems. Plant species richness sustains higher trophic levels of soil nematode communities after consecutive environmental perturbations. May 31, 2017 ... Abstract. Ecological drift causes species abundances to fluctuate randomly, lowering diversity within communities and increasing differences ... Jul 8, 2024 ...
