Title
Patterns of plant species diversity and composition in a semi-arid riparian ecosystem
Keirith Snyder UA Campus Repository (The University of Arizona) 1995
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Woody composition varied with elevation above the channel.
- Association Herbaceous composition appeared unaffected by proximity to the riparian area.
- Observation Woody alpha diversity showed no consistent pattern.
- Association Vertical structural diversity was highest near the stream.
- Association Herbaceous diversity increased in floodplain sites.
- Association Herbaceous diversity decreased in hillslope sites.
- Association Overstory characteristics predicted herbaceous richness better than biomass or environmental variables.
