We explained vascular plant species richness patterns in a 286 km2
fragmented landscape
with a notable human influence. The objective of this study was two-fold: to test the relative
importance of landscape, topography and geodiversity measures, and to compare three
different landscape-type variables in species richness modeling. Moreover, we tested if
results differ when only native species are considered. We used generalized linear modeling
based variation partitioning and generalized additive models with different explanatory
variable sets. Landscape and topography explained the majority of the variation but the
relative importance of topography and geodiversity was higher in explaining native species
richness than in explaining total species richness. Differences between the three landscape
type variables were small and they provided complementary information. Finally, topography
and geodiversity often direct human action and can be ultimate causes behind both
landscape variability and species richness patterns.

Road verges provide alternative habitats for some, but not all, meadow plants
Oldén, Anna; Pitkämäki, Tinja; Halme, Panu; Komonen, Atte; Raatikainen, Kaisa J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)Questions Agricultural intensification has led to the decline of biodiverse meadows and other semi-natural grasslands. Road verges offer potential alternative habitats for meadow species, but they may not be suitable for ... -
Plant trait‐environment relationships in tundra are consistent across spatial scales
Rissanen, Tuuli; Niittynen, Pekka; Soininen, Janne; Virkkala, Anna‐Maria; Luoto, Miska (Wiley, 2023)Patterns and processes shaping ecosystems vary across spatiotemporal scales. As plant functional traits reflect ecosystem properties, investigating their relationships with environment provides an important tool to understand ... -
Local snow and fluvial conditions drive taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic plant diversity in tundra
Rissanen, Tuuli; Aalto, Aino; Kainulainen, Heli; Kauppi, Olli; Niittynen, Pekka; Soininen, Janne; Luoto, Miska (Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)To understand, how the diversity and hence functioning of tundra ecosystems might respond to altering environmental conditions, fine-scale studies are needed as local conditions may buffer broad-scale environmental changes. ...
