Incorporating plant access to groundwater in existing global, satellite-based evaporation estimates
<p>This repository contains data used in the paper "Incorporating plant access to groundwater in existing global, satellite-based evaporation estimates".</p> <p>This repository includes the following netcdf files: 1) daily evaporation based on GLEAM-Hydro [mm/d], 2) daily evaporation based on GLEAM v3 [mm/d], 3) annual-mean groundwater-sourced evaporation (E_GW) [mm/year], and 4) temporally averaged groundwater contribution fraction (f_GW) [-].</p>
Plant phenology, aphid colony growth, and honeydew deposition data
<p>Changing phenological cues can lead to trophic mismatch for plants and herbivores, and this often shifts herbivore feeding to plant stages of lower quality. Temperature can also mediate how herbivores respond to plant quality, leading to temperature-by-phenology interactions. We examined how both temperature and host plant phenology impact aphid abundance and their mutualism with ants. Our study system was composed of aphids (<em>Aphis asclepiadis</em>) that colonize flowering stalks of the host plant, <em>Ligusticum porteri</em>. Abundance of this aphid species is dependent on mutualism with several ant species. To understand how host plant phenology and temperature affect aphid abundance, we experimentally accelerated snow melt date by two weeks, which correspondingly advanced flowering phenology. Then, we factorially combined this phenology treatment with open top warming chambers surrounding aphid colonies. We tracked aphid colony growth and interactions with ants, and results showed the greatest colony growth at cooler, ambient temperatures on host plants without accelerated phenology. These colonies also showed the highest levels of honeydew deposition relative to their overall size. Our findings show that trophic mismatch decreases aphid abundance, and changes to the ant-aphid mutualism exacerbate this effect.</p>
Disturbance indicator values for European plants
<p>We report a data set of disturbance indicator values identifying mean optima along gradients of natural and anthropogenic disturbance for 6,382 vascular plant species based on the analysis of 736,366 European vegetation plots and using an expert-based characterization of disturbance regimes in 236 habitat types. The indicator values presented here are crucial for integrating disturbance niche optima in large-scale assessments of vegetation and macroecological studies.</p> <p>The data set contains five main continuous indicator values for European plants: disturbance severity, disturbance frequency, mowing frequency, grazing pressure and soil disturbance. The first two indicators are provided separately for the whole community and the herb layer.</p> <p><strong>Reference:</strong><br> Midolo, G., Herben, T., Axmanová, I., Marcenò, C., Pätsch, R., Bruelheide, H., Karger D.N., Aćić, S., Bergamini, A., Bergmeier, E., Biurrun, I., Bonari, G., Čarni, A., Chiarucci, A., De Sanctis, M., Demina, O., Dengler, J., Dziuba, T., Fanelli, G., Garbolino, E., Giusso del Galdo, G., Goral, F., Güler, B., Hinojos-Mendoza, G., Jansen, F., Jiménez-Alfaro, B., Lengyel, A., Lenoir, J., Pérez-Haase, A., Pielech, R., Prokhorov, V., Rašomavičius, V., Ruprecht, E., Rusina, S., Šilc, U., Škvorc, Ž., Stancic, Z., Tatarenko, I., & Chytrý, M.

Data and code from: Functional rarity of plants in German hay meadows - patterns on the species level and mismatches with community species richness
<p>Functional rarity (FR) - a feature combining a species' rarity with the distinctiveness of its traits - represents a promising tool to better understand the ecological importance of rare species and consequently to protect functional diversity more efficiently. Yet, we lack a systematic understanding of FR on both the species level (which species are functionally rare and why) and the community level (how is FR associated with biodiversity and environmental conditions). Here, we quantify FR for 218 plant species from German hay meadows on a local, regional, and national scale by combining data from 6500 vegetation relevés and 15 ecologically relevant traits. We investigate the association between rarity and trait distinctiveness on different spatial scales via correlation measures and show which traits lead to low or high trait distinctiveness via distance-based redundancy analysis. We test how species richness and FR are correlated and use boosted regression trees to determine environmental conditions driving species richness and FR. On the local scale, only rare species showed high trait distinctiveness while on larger spatial scales rare and common species showed high trait distinctiveness. As infrequent trait attributes (e.g., legumes, low clonality) led to higher trait distinctiveness, we argue that functionally rare species are either specialists or transients. While specialists occupy a particular niche in hay meadows leading to lower rarity on larger spatial scales, transients display distinct but maladaptive traits resulting in high rarity across all spatial scales. More functionally rare species than expected by chance occurred in species-poor communities indicating that they prefer environmental conditions differing from characteristic conditions of species-rich hay meadows. Finally, we argue that functionally rare species are not necessarily relevant for nature conservation, since many were transients from surrounding habitats. Yet, FR can facilitate our understanding of why species are rare in a habitat and under which conditions these species occur.</p>
Plant-associate interactions and diversification across trophic levels
<p>Interactions between species are widely understood to have promoted the diversification of life on Earth, but how interactions spur the formation of new species remains unclear. Interacting species often become locally adapted to each other, but they may also be subject to shared dispersal limitations and environmental conditions. Moreover, theory predicts that different kinds of interactions have different effects on diversification. To better understand how species interactions promote diversification, we compiled population genetic studies of host plants and intimately associated herbivores, parasites, and mutualists. We used Bayesian multiple regressions and the BEDASSLE modeling framework to test whether host and associate population structures were correlated over and above the potentially confounding effects of geography and shared environmental variation. We found that associates' population structure often paralleled their hosts' population structure, and that this effect is robust to accounting for geographic distance and climate. Associate genetic structure was significantly explained by plant genetic structure somewhat more often in antagonistic interactions than in mutualistic ones. This aligns with a key prediction of coevolutionary theory, that antagonistic interactions promote diversity through local adaptation of antagonists to hosts, while mutualistic interactions more often promote diversity via the effect of hosts' geographic distribution on mutualists' dispersal.</p>

Livestock management promotes bush encroachment in savanna systems by altering plant-herbivore feedback
<p>This repository contains all code to reproduce the analysis in Koch et al. 2022 "Livestock management promotes bush encroachment in savanna systems by altering plant-herbivore feedback".</p> <p>We use a set of coupled differential equations to describe competition between shrubs and grasses, as well as plant biomass consumption via grazing and browsing. Grazers were assumed to receive a certain level of care from farmers, so that grazer densities emerge dynamically from the combined effect of vegetation abundance and farmer<br>support. Our main goal was to understand how critical transitions from grass-dominated to shrub-dominated system states were affected by the dynamic role of grazing.</p> <p>Our results show that bistability emerges for intermediate levels of farmer support due to positive feedback that arises from competition between shrubs and grasses and from herbivory. We furthermore demonstrate that disturbances, such as drought events, trigger abrupt transitions from the grass dominated to the shrub dominated state and that the system becomes more susceptible to disturbances with increasing farmer support.</p>
