IranVeg – the Vegetation Database of Iran: current status and the way forward Open
Iran, situated in Southwest Asia, showcases a diverse landscape, including three phytogeographical regions and two global biodiversity hotspots. This diversity is attributed to its intricate geology, mountainous terrain, wide altitudinal r…

Seedling Recruitment at the Upper Limit of Tree Growth in the Alborz Mountains, Northern Iran: Safe Site Characteristics and Edaphic Conditions Open
Climate warming may enhance the upslope migration of tree species at high elevations. In this context, few studies have analyzed the requirements of tree seedlings with respect to safe sites and soil conditions, particularly in the Alborz …

Assessing elevational shifts in the species-abundance distribution (SAD): a case study of vascular plants in the Alborz Mts., Iran Open
Species Abundance Distributions (SADs) describe the commonness and rarity of species in communities, but few studies explored the ecological factors influencing SAD patterns. Elevational gradients may provide useful opportunities to unders…

Caspian remnant coastal dunes: how do natural and anthropogenic factors impact on plant diversity and vegetation? Open
This vegetation-environmental relation study is the first large-scale survey along 34 cross-shore transects in 650 km-coastal dune remnants of the south Caspian Sea, Iran. The five vegetation zones dedicated here seem to be driven by both …

Scale dependence of species–area relationships is widespread but generally weak in Palaearctic grasslands Open
Questions Species–area relationships (SARs) are fundamental for understanding biodiversity patterns and are generally well described by a power law with a constant exponent z . However, z ‐values sometimes vary across spatial scales. We as…

Influence of elevation on the species–area relationship Open
Aim Species–area relationships (SARs) are among the best investigated patterns in ecology, yet the shape of the function that should describe SARs and the biological meaning of the function parameters are disputed. Elevational gradients of…
