Patterns of species richness and conservation in the Caatinga along elevational gradients in a semiarid ecosystem

2014-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Altitudinal gradients provide a useful model for studying plant community composition along environmental gradients. Altitudinal gradients also vary in their degree of human exploitation, as human activity is generally greater at lower elevations than at higher elevations. We examined the effect of altitude on plant community composition along an altitudinal gradient ranging from 400 to 600 m a.s.l. by sampling 75...
