Historical data reveal contrasting habitat amount relationships with plant biodiversity

Abstract: Assessing habitat loss effects on biodiversity is a major focus of ecological research. The relationship between habitat amount and biodiversity, postulated in the habitat amount hypothesis, is usually assessed at one point in time, which does not account for habitat loss as a temporal process. We examined habitat amount effects at two time periods, 1930s and 2010s, using plant data from three semi-natural habitats: calcareous grassland, heathland and broadleaved woodland, across Dorset, southern England. Wood… Show more

“…This circumstance implies recognizing constraints in relation to the surrounding land matrix. Most previous research on such geoedaphic islands refers to a hostile matrix [49,50]. However, maintaining this argument becomes challenging in the case of gypsum outcrops, given that over 90% of the hosted flora can be considered gypsovag, meaning that, a priori, the mentioned matrix is permeable to a high percentage of species.…”
