Taxonomic, functional, phylogenetic, and biogeographical diversity of vascular plants in rainforest transformation systems on Sumatra (Indonesia) (B06)

我们从局部到景观尺度研究了植物多样性的变化。到目前为止，我们主要关注的是分类学上的α和β多样性，在第三阶段，我们将分析多样性的系统发育和功能维度及其相互关系。将物种多样性与功能和系统发育维度相结合，将使我们能够通过与物种损失的直接比较来量化生态功能的损失。我们将进一步通过参与景观评估来评估伽马多样性的模式及其驱动因素，并领导一个跨分类单元的综合项目，评估热带土地利用变化对生命之树主要分支的影响。

We investigate changes in plant diversity from local to landscape scales. After having focuses mostly on taxonomic alpha and beta diversity so far, in Phase 3 we will analyse the phylogenetic and functional dimensions of diversity and their interrelatedness. Combining species diversity with the functional and phylogenetic dimensions will allow us to quantify losses in ecological functions in direct comparison with species loss. We will furthermore evaluate patterns of gamma diversity and their drivers by contributing to the Landscape Assessment and lead a cross-taxon synthesis project evaluating the effect of tropical land-use change on major clades in the tree of life.
