Background & Aim: The small-island effect (SIE) describes a phenomenon when below a
certain threshold area, species richness varies independently of island size or increases at a …

Recent analyses suggest that positive patch area effects on biodiversity occur ubiquitously
when comparing equal-effort samples from remnant habitat patches. The mechanisms …

Desert grassland is an essential component of the northern grasslands of China,
representing an ecosystem that transitions from grassland to desert. However, it is a fragile …

Soil properties can affect plant population dynamics and the coexistence of native and
invasive plants, thus potentially affecting community structure and invasion trends. However …

Habitat fragmentation was widely recognized as a critical factor influencing biodiversity.
Current research primarily focused on the taxonomic dimensions of biodiversity; however …

Despite much research in the field of island biogeography, mechanisms regulating insular
diversity remain elusive. Here, we aim to explore mechanisms underlying plant species-area …

Aim The small‐island effect (SIE) describes an anomalous feature of the species–area
relationship (SAR) on smaller compared to larger islands. However, previous studies on …

Introduction Exploring the change and maintaining mechanism of plant diversity is of great
significance for guiding the restoration of degraded ecosystems. However, how plant …

Habitat loss and fragmentation per se have been shown to be a major threat to global
biodiversity and ecosystem function. However, little is known about how habitat loss and …

小岛屿效应(small-island effect, SIE) 描述了种-面积关系(species-area relationship, SAR)
的一种特殊现象: 在面积低于某个阈值时, 物种数不随岛屿面积的增加而增加或以一种比大岛屿 …
