Abstract:
Alteration of natural vegetation cover across the landscape drives biodiversity changes. Although several studies have explored the relationships between vegetation cover and species richness, as well as between land-cover variance and species richness, few have considered the non-independence of these two biodiversity drivers. The goal of this perspective paper is to present theoretical and empirical relationships linking vegetation cover to land-cover variance at the landscape scale, and the implication of these relationships for species richness change along a gradient of increasing anthropization.
Keywords:
