Species richness and beta diversity patterns of multiple taxa along an elevational gradient in pastured grasslands in the European Alps

Abstract To understand how diversity is distributed in space is a fundamental aim for optimizing future species and community conservation. We examined in parallel species richness and beta diversity components of nine taxonomic groups along a finite space, represented by pastured grasslands along a...
