Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Moisture, proximity to gas vents and disturbance are the main factors controlling grassland species and community distributions.
- Association Grassland species distributions are controlled primarily by moisture.
- Association Grassland species distributions are also influenced by soil pH.
- Observation Eight herb communities were recognized in the grassland vegetation.
- Observation BDA revealed complex species response patterns.
- Method / resource Multiple regressions revealed little about plant-environment relationships beyond those found by BDA.
- Recommendation The authors state that BDA, metric ordination with data stratification and nonmetric ordination can yield satisfactory results in exploratory plant-environment studies.
