Given the importance of knowledge of species distribution for conservation and climate
change management, continuous and progressive evaluation of the statistical models …

Inundation that gives rise to soil flooding, or more complete submergence, is the most
common environmental cause of oxygen deprivation for vascular plants. Species differ …

Little is known about the factors affecting the relative influences of stochastic and
deterministic processes that govern the assembly of microbial communities in successional …

With the rise of new powerful statistical techniques and GIS tools, the development of
predictive habitat distribution models has rapidly increased in ecology. Such models are …

An important statistical development of the last 30 years has been the advance in regression
analysis provided by generalized linear models (GLMs) and generalized additive models …

Despite the variety of statistical methods available for static modeling of plant distribution,
few studies directly compare methods on a common data set. In this paper, the predictive …

The first expected symptoms of a climate change‐generated biodiversity crisis are range
contractions and extinctions at lower elevational and latitudinal limits to species …

Canonical community ordination comprises a collection of methods that relate species
assemblages to their environment, in both observational studies and designed experiments …

1. The seedling emergence method for assessing the size of the seed bank is improved by
washing soil samples on a fine sieve and spreading the thus concentrated samples in a 3-5 …

Mountain ecosystems will likely be affected by global warming during the 21st century, with
substantial biodiversity loss predicted by species distribution models (SDMs). Depending on …
