VEGAN, a package of R functions for community ecology

Philip M. Dixon · 9 Apr 2003

Abstract. VEGAN adds vegetation analysis functions to the general‐purpose statistical program R. Both R and VEGAN can be downloaded for free. VEGAN implements several ordination methods, including Canonical Correspondence Analysis and Non‐metric Multidimensional Scaling, vector fitting of environmental variables, randomization tests, and various other analyses of vegetation data. It can be used for large data.…

Assembly and response rules: two goals for predictive community ecology

Paul A. Keddy · 1 Apr 1992

Abstract. Assembly rules provide one possible unifying framework for community ecology. Given a species pool, and measured traits for each species, the objective is to specify which traits (and therefore which subset of species) will occur in a particular environment. Because the problem primarily involves traits and environments, answers should be generalizable to systems with…

The plant traits that drive ecosystems: Evidence from three continents

Sandra Dı́az, John Hodgson, Ken Thompson et al. · 24 Feb 2004

Abstract Question: A set of easily‐measured (‘soft’) plant traits has been identified as potentially useful predictors of ecosystem functioning in previous studies. Here we aimed to discover whether the screening techniques remain operational in widely contrasted circumstances, to test for the existence of axes of variation in the particular sets of traits, and to test…

Measuring phenological variability from satellite imagery

Bradley C. Reed, Jesslyn F. Brown, Darrel VanderZee et al. · 1 Oct 1994

Abstract. Vegetation phenological phenomena are closely related to seasonal dynamics of the lower atmosphere and are therefore important elements in global models and vegetation monitoring. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite sensor offer a means of efficiently and objectively evaluating…

Rao's quadratic entropy as a measure of functional diversity based on multiple traits

Zoltán Botta‐Dukát · 24 Feb 2005

Abstract Question: Is Rao's quadratic entropy a suitable measure of functional diversity if several traits are considered? Methods: It is checked whether Rao's quadratic entropy ( FD Q ) satisfies a priori criteria suggested by Mason et al. A real data set is used to show that there are often zeros in abundance distributions which…
