The Relationship between Local Species Richness and Species Pool: A Case Study from the High Mountains of the Greater Caucasus

摘要: The causes of linear relationships between local species richness and the size actual pool in closed subalpine meadow communities open plant alpine stony substrate (the Greater Caucasus Mountains) were analyzed using a computer simulation model. results demonstrated that this relationship is insufficient evidence for variation among wholly or partly determined by regional processes species-pool hypothesis). A relatively proportional ratio these variables can also arise where both depend on processes, factors alone while factors.
