Mar 22, 2024 · This shows that mechanisms such as insurance (Díaz & Cabido, 2001) and dominant species effect (Lisner et al., 2022) support resistance and recovery of grasslands experiencing unfavourable environmental conditions.

Dominant species are the most abundant species in a community, exerting a strong influence over the occurrence and distribution of other species. In contrast, keystone species have...
Mar 13, 2019 · Dominant species: Species that have high abundance relative to other species in a community, and have proportionate effects on environmental conditions, community diversity and/or ecosystem function. Dominant species can be common (widespread) or restricted in their range (limited).

- Effects of Species Composition on Respiratory Activity
Strains A, D and E had highest activity at 26°C, strain B was most active at 22°C and strain C did not differ significantly over the temperature range studied (Additional file 2). All strains showed some activity over the entire temperature range, even though two of them (B and D) showed a rapid decline in activity when the temperature was increase...
Under constant temperature conditions, species richness had an overall positive effect on the mean respiratory activity, but successive levels of species richness were not always significantly greater than the previous level (Table 1, Figure 1). Under varying temperature conditions, species richness had the greatest influence on respiratory activit...
Under constant temperature conditions, differences in species composition had strong effects on respiratory activities (Table 1, Figure 3), where highest levels of activities were observed in communities that contained strain A and/or strain C (Figure 3). Also in case of the fluctuating temperature regime, the functional contributions that individu...

Our results indicate that numerically dominant species in a community can influence the establishment of new species more than species diversity, but the direction of interaction can shift from facilitative to competitive as community density increases.

Sep 19, 2012 · These results show, for the first time, that interactions between plant species diversity and genetic diversity within a dominant species can alter biomass production, highlighting the importance of incorporating interactions between levels of biodiversity into our understanding of how biodiversity influences ecosystem function.
