摘要: Applying multiple generalized regression models, we studied spatial patterns in species richness for different taxonomic groups (amphibians, reptiles, grasshoppers, plants, mosses) within the German federal state Rhineland-Palatinate (RP). We aimed (1) to detect their centres of richness, (2) rate influence climatic and land-use parameters on patterns, (3) test whether are congruent between RP. Centres differed overall was highest valleys large rivers areas southern Climatic strongly correlated with all taxa whereas land use less significant. Spatial were a certain extent but group pairs. The number grasshoppers plants richness. An external validation corroborated generality our models.
