Abstract:The organisation of species diversity is affected by environmental factors acting at different spatial scales. To understand the drivers behind the community structure of invertebrates associated with Marram grass-the dominant dune building ecological engineers from coastal dunes-, we setup a stratified sampling scheme into six biogeographic regions along the North Sea. By sampling plant tussocks that are differently spatially organised, we tested to which degree local species composition is affected by the pl… Show more
