Aims Understanding fine‐grain diversity patterns across large spatial extents is fundamental for macroecological research and biodiversity conservation. Using the GrassPlot database …
Patterns of biodiversity may vary across spatial scales and between taxonomic groups; therefore, specific studies are needed to provide insights into factors driving community …

The drivers of plant richness at fine spatial scales in steppe ecosystems are still not sufficiently understood. Our main research questions were:(i) How rich in plant species are …
We asked:(i) Which environmental factors determine the level of α-diversity at several scales and β-diversity in steppic grasslands?(ii) How do the effects of environmental factors on α …
Questions: Studying dry grasslands in a previously unexplored region, we asked:(a) which environmental factors drive the diversity patterns in vegetation;(b) are taxonomic groups …
In Switzerland, steppe vegetation is restricted to inner alpine dry valleys in the West (Valais) and the East (Grisons). They harbour many specialist and threatened species. In 2011, a …

Aims: We studied the syntaxonomic position, biodiversity, ecological features, nature conservation value and current status of dry grasslands investigated by Josias Braun …
Lichens are very sensitive to habitat changes and their species richness is likely to decline under intensive land use. Currently, a comprehensive study analyzing lichen species …
