fourth-corner analysis

Integrating spatial and phylogenetic information in the fourth-corner analysis to test trait-environment relationships

The fourth-corner analysis aims to quantify and test for relationships between species traits and site-specific environmental variables, mediated by site-specific species abundances. Since there is no common unit of observation, the significance of …

Disentangling plant trait responses to livestock grazing from spatio-temporal variation: the partial RLQ approach

Questions: Which plant traits consistently respond to grazing in different years and across habitat-related environmental heterogeneity? Does the proposed partial RLQ approach allow partitioning of grazing-related environmental parameters from other …
