Indicative distribution map for Ecosystem Functional Group T5.2 Succulent or Thorny deserts and semi-deserts
<p>This archive contains indicative distribution maps and profiles for <strong>T5.2 Succulent or Thorny deserts and semi-deserts</strong>, a ecosystem functional group (EFG, level 3) of the <a href="https://global-ecosystems.org/">IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology</a> (v2.0). Please refer to Keith <em>et al.</em> (2020) for details.</p> <p>The descriptive profiles provide brief summaries of key ecological traits and processes, maps are indicative of global distribution patterns, and are not intended to represent fine-scale patterns. The maps show areas of the world containing major (value of 1, coloured red) or minor occurrences (value of 2, coloured yellow) of each ecosystem functional group. Minor occurrences are areas where an ecosystem functional group is scattered in patches within matrices of other ecosystem functional groups or where they occur in substantial areas, but only within a segment of a larger region. Given bounds of resolution and accuracy of source data, the maps should be used to query which EFG are likely to occur within areas, rather than which occur at particular point locations. Detailed methods and references for the maps are included in the profile (xml format).</p>

Woodiness and succulence of the Canary Islands flora
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Aim</strong>: Oceanic islands possess unique floras with high proportions of endemic species. Island floras are expected to be severely affected by changing climatic conditions as species on islands have limited distribution ranges, small population sizes and face the constraints of insularity to track their climatic niches. We aimed to assess how ongoing climate change affects the range sizes of oceanic island plants, identifying species of particular conservation concern.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Location</strong>: Canary Islands, Spain.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Methods</strong>: We combined species occurrence data from single-island endemic, archipelago endemic and non-endemic native plant species of the Canary Islands with data on current and future climatic conditions. Bayesian Additive Regression Trees were used to assess the effect of climate change on species distributions; 71% (n = 502 species) of the native Canary Island species had models deemed good enough. To further assess how climate change affects plant functional strategies, we collected data on woodiness and succulence.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Results</strong>: Single-island endemic species were projected to lose a greater proportion of their climatically suitable area (x̃ = ‑0.36) than archipelago endemics (x̃ = ‑0.28) or non-endemic native species (x̃ = ‑0.26), especially on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, which are expected to experience less annual precipitation in the future. Moreover, herbaceous single-island endemics were projected to gain less and lose more climatically suitable area than insular woody single-island endemics. In contrast, we found that succulent single-island endemics and non-endemic natives gain more and lose less climatically suitable area.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Main</strong> <strong>conclusions</strong>: While all native species are of conservation importance, we emphasise single-island endemic species not characterised by functional strategies associated with water use efficiency. Our results are particularly critical for other oceanic island floras that are not constituted by such a vast diversity of insular woody species as the Canary Islands.</span></p>

Biomes as evolutionary arenas: convergence and conservatism in the trans-continental Succulent Biome
<p><b>Aim: </b>Biomes are globally-distributed, structurally and functionally similar vegetation units, but there is debate about whether these similarities are superficial, and about how biomes are defined and mapped. We propose that combined assessment of evolutionary convergence of plant functional traits and phylogenetic biome conservatism provides a useful approach for characterising biomes. We focus on the little-known succulent biome, a trans-continentally distributed assemblage of succulent-rich, drought-deciduous, fire-free forest, thicket and scrub vegetation as a useful exemplar biome to gain insights into these questions.</p> <p><b>Location: </b>Global lowland (sub)tropics.</p> <p><b>Time period: </b>Present.</p> <p><b>Major taxa studied: </b>Angiosperms.</p> <p><b>Methods: </b>We use a model-ensemble approach to model the distribution of 884 species of stem succulents, a plant functional group representing a striking example of evolutionary convergence. Using this model, phylogenies, and species occurrence data, we quantify phylogenetic succulent biome conservatism for ten non-succulent trans-continental plant clades including prominent elements of the succulent biome, representing over 800 species.</p> <p><b>Results: </b>The geographical and climatic distributions of stem succulents provide an objective and quantitative proxy for mapping the distribution of the succulent biome. High fractions of succulent biome occupancy across continents suggest all ten non-succulent study clades are phylogenetically conserved to the succulent biome.</p> <p><b>Main conclusions: </b>The trans-continental succulent and savanna biomes both show evolutionary convergence in key biome-related plant functional traits. However, in contrast to the savanna biome, which was apparently assembled via repeated local recruitment of lineages via biome shifts from adjacent biomes within continents, the succulent biome forms a coherent trans-continental evolutionary arena for drought-adapted tropical biome conserved lineages. Recognizing the important functional differences between the succulent-rich, grass-poor, fire-free succulent biome and the grass-dominated, succulent-poor, fire-prone savanna biome, and defining them as distinct seasonally dry tropical biomes, occupying essentially non-overlapping distributions, provides critical insights into tropical biodiversity and the extent of biome stasis versus biome shifting.</p>
