Winner-Loser Species Replacements in Human-Modified Landscapes.

摘要: Community assembly arguably drives the provision of ecosystem services because they critically depend on which and how species coexist. We examine conspicuous cases 'winner loser' replacements (WLRs) in tropical forests to provide a framework integrating drivers, impacts ecological organization, reconfiguration service provisioning. Most WLRs involve native result from changes resource availability rather than altered competition among species. In this context, dispersal is powerful force controlling community (re)assembly. Furthermore, imply nearly complete functional reorganization assemblages new 'packages' disservices provided by winners. can thus elucidate multiple transitions experienced forests, have theoretical/applied implications, including role that human-modified landscapes may play global-scale sustainability.
