Abstract:
<b>Background and aims</b> – Interest in understanding the factors driving change in alien plant species richness along elevation has been increasing. This knowledge assists in understanding the risk of alien plant invasions and the general mechanisms determining species richness patterns in native flora. In addition, recent land use changes within mountainous regions are expected to affect the species richness of alien plants along elevation. However, few reliable datasets have revealed temporal changes in alien species distribution and richness along elevation. In this study, we evaluated re

Knowledge of spatial patterns of species richness (SR) is highly relevant for theoretical research in ecology and the development of conservation plans. In Poland, despite a long tradition of botanical surveys, vascular plant SR has not been mapped, nor have the correlations in richness among different plant species groups been explored at the entire country scale. Here, we used a recently published data set to examine spatial patterns and relationships among the joined SR of vascular plant species, including native species, archaeophytes, neophytes, and species with high conservation value (i

Pine sandhill are integral pyrogenic communities in the southeastern United States. Though once widespread, habitat destruction, fire suppression and fragmentation have reduced the population to nearly 3%. It is important to learn as much as possible about these unique areas in order to implement best management practices to conserve and restore the existing populations of these communities. Fire is central to the maintenance of pine sandhill communities and two conceptual hypothesis regarding burn frequency have come to light in maintaining the unique species composition and richness of these

Abstract:
Environmental heterogeneity is often cited as one of the driving mechanisms behind community species composition and diversity. However, its contribution to species composition in plant communities remains unclear because few experiments demonstrate a causal link between environmental heterogeneity and plant diversity. This is particularly true for soil manipulations despite that fact that soil is expected to provide the key resources necessary for plant growth. Here, I utilize a unique manipulation of the soil profile to create communities with spatially heterogeneous and homogeneous soil arr

Abstract:
The diversity (species richness) of plants and animals is typically highest in the tropics and the strongest environmental correlate of species richness is often climate. The energy for plant production is sunlight, but the rate is governed jointly by temperature and the availability of water (as captured by actual evapotranspiration, AET). Greater production is then linked to higher diversity because larger population size protects against stochastic extinction (the more individuals mechanism). A greater biomass and diversity of plants allows for a greater diversity of herbivores and so on th

Abstract:
In 2012 and 2013, the Pacific Island Network Inventory and Monitoring program established transects to monitor non-native, invasive plant species at Haleakalā National Park. Belt transects were utilized to monitor non-native species frequency and abundance in two plant communities, wet forest and subalpine shrubland. Repeated monitoring of these plant communities is planned to occur at five year intervals with objectives to detect change in non-native plant composition, distribution frequency, and cover. Because this report represents the first read of transects, an analysis of change over tim

Abstract:
The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network monitors plant communities at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve and evaluates a variety of environmental variables that affect vegetation patterns, including climate and ecological disturbances such as fire and grazing. Here we report on 2002–2018 trends in management actions (fire and grazing) and key plant community indicators. Temperature has increased over the past 50 years in the region. Precipitation and a standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index included a high degree of interannual variability and did not demonstrate directional

Abstract:
Plant community monitoring at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield (NB) focused on the restored tallgrass prairie community. Six monitoring sites were visited four times and observations of plant species and ground cover were made. In addition to those observations, we included two environmental factors in this report—precipitation and recent fire history—to help understand the vegetation data status and trends. Precipitation data (standardized vegetation index) indicated drought conditions in 2012 and some dry periods in 2016. Although prairies are adapted to drought, we found that species ric

Abstract:
This report presents the results of vegetation monitoring efforts in 2020 at Fort Laramie National Historic Site (FOLA) by the Northern Great Plains Inventory and Monitoring Network (NGPN) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). This was the tenth year of combined monitoring efforts. Crew members from USGS visited 9 long-term monitoring plots to collect data on the plant communities at FOLA. This work is part of a long-term monitoring effort designed to provide a better understanding of the condition of the vegetation community at FOLA and how it changes over time. USGS staff measured

Abstract:
Atmospheric deposition can alter biological communities through a variety of pathways. Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition causes some plant and animal species to increase growth and/or abundance. Other species then can be outcompeted and eliminated from the biological community. Deposition of reactive N (Nr) to watersheds can impact both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem elements and contribute to eutrophication and acidification effects. Atmospheric sulfur (S) deposition has been the primary driver of soil and surface water acidification of acid-sensitive ecosystems, resulting in adverse eff

Abstract:
The Southern Colorado Plateau Network has monitored vegetation and soils in pinyon-juniper woodlands at Bandelier National Monument (BAND), Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA), and Mesa Verde National Park (MEVE) since 2007. This report analyzes 15 years of data on site characteristics and changes in selected indicators. Overall, MEVE and GRCA exhibited similar conditions in Pinyon-Juniper woodlands, with sparsely vegetated understories and dense canopies dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) and two-needle pinyon pine (Pinus edulis). In contrast, BAND had a more diverse understory w
