Oikos 127:780–791Purvis A, Hector A (2000) Getting the measure of biodiversity. Strong correlations were identified between island area and island height (Pearson product moment correlation coefficient = 0.85), and between island area and habitat heterogeneity (Pearson product moment correlation coefficient = 0.78). Species richness index denoted by 'S' is the simplest measure of biodiversity. 4): non-avian animals responded most … Oxford University Press, OxfordHelm A, Hanski I, Pärtel M (2005) Slow response of plant species richness to habitat loss and fragmentation. Get kids back-to-school ready with Expedition: Learn! J Ecol 99:1299–1307Turner IM (1996) Species loss in fragments of tropical rain forest: a review of the evidence. Island area had the highest effect on species composition, both when no other variable was included (Lambda-1) and in the full model (Lambda-A). For species composition, structural connectivity at the landscape scale (buffer 1000 m) rather than at the local or extended landscape scale was the most important (Fig. Bonnier Fakta, StockholmNaimi B (2015) usdm: uncertainty analysis for species distribution models.

Combining extensive plant surveys with measures of island area, distance to mainland, amount of bare bedrock, open and forest habitats, and structural connectivity, we ask how plant richness and species composition differ in relation to the spatial environment.

Candidate landscape variables consisted of island area, habitat heterogeneity, island height, distance to mainland, and structural connectivity (Table Two models were built to analyse plant species richness and plant species composition, both including the full data set of 112 islands. Although species richness can be an informative measure of diversity, plant communities are dynamic systems under constant change due to local extinction and immigration. Islands are excellent model systems for investigating landscape effects on biodiversity (Wardle The study area is situated in the outer archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden, in the Baltic Sea, covering roughly 350 kmThe study area, situated in the outer archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden, in the Baltic Sea.
