Hydrological and biogeochemical controls on plant species distribution within calcareous fens
Abstract
Abstract This study determines spatial patterns of plant species richness and diversity in three calcareous fens and quantifies individual species response and range/tolerance to hydrological, peat physical, and porewater nutrient gradients using nonlinear quantile regression. Species richness and diversity were highly variable across the sites, with no single species occupying more than 25% of the area surveyed. Variable hydrological regime …
