• Effects of local and regional drivers on plant diversity within tundra landscapes 

      Mörsdorf, Martin Alfons (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-12-21)
      In tundra, the diversity within vascular plant communities (alpha diversity) is known to be determined by local drivers such as habitat productivity and ungulate grazing. However, little is known how such local drivers modify the diversity between communities (beta diversity). Furthermore, diversity patterns may be constrained by the size of the regional species pool, which in turn may mediate the ...
