Elevational range shifts of mountain species in response to climate change have profound impact on biodiversity. However, current evidence indicates great controversies the direction and magnitude elevational across regions. Here, using historical recent occurrence records 83 plant a subtropical mountain, Mt. Gongga (Sichuan, China), we evaluated changes elevation centroids limits (upper lower) along gradients, explored determinants changes. We found that 63.9% shifted their upward, while...
Abstract Floristic regions reflect the geographic organization of floras and provide essential tools for biological studies. Previous global floristic are generally based on endemism, lacking a phylogenetic consideration that captures evolution. Moreover, contribution tectonic dynamics historical current climate to division remains unknown. Here, by integrating distributions phylogeny 12,664 angiosperm genera, we update explore their temporal changes. Eight realms 16 nested sub-realms...
Abstract Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is an important mechanism determining plant community dynamics and structure. Understanding the geographic patterns drivers of PSF essential for understanding mechanisms underlying diversity patterns. We compiled a large dataset containing 5969 observations from 202 studies to demonstrate global woody non‐woody species. Overall, was negative on average influenced by attributes environmental settings. Woody species PSFs did not vary with latitude, but were...
Changes in species composition across communities, i.e., β-diversity, is a central focus of ecology. Compared to macroorganisms, the β-diversity soil microbes and its drivers are less studied. Whether determinants microbial consistent between depths abundant rare microorganisms remains controversial. Here, using 16S-rRNA bacteria archaea sampled at different (0–10 30–50 cm) from 32 sites along an aridity gradient 1500 km temperate grasslands northern China, we compared effects deterministic...
Abstract Angiosperm sexual systems are fundamental to the evolution and distribution of plant diversity, yet spatiotemporal patterns in angiosperm their drivers remain poorly known. Using data on distributions 68453 species, we present first global maps system frequencies evaluate during Cenozoic. Frequencies dioecy monoecy increase with latitude, while hermaphrodites more frequent warm arid regions. Transitions from other states were higher than hermaphroditism, but transitions away...
The geographic distribution of plant diversity matches the gradient habitat heterogeneity from lowlands to mountain regions. However, little is known about how much this relationship conserved across scales. Using World Checklist Vascular Plants and high-resolution biodiversity maps developed by species models, we investigated associations between richness at scales Eurasia Hengduan Mountains (HDM) in China. Habitat explains seed Eurasia, but 41/97 HDM families even higher than expected...
Abstract Aim Significant changes in species elevational ranges mountains have been repeatedly documented, yet the direction, magnitude and drivers of these shifts remain controversial. Presently, there is still lacking evidence about general nature range eastern Eurasia response to anthropogenic climate change. By using historical specimen records recent field observations for 735 seed plant across 29 China's mountains, we assessed species' centroids their drivers. Location China. Time...
The mechanisms underlying elevation patterns in species and phylogenetic diversity remain a central issue ecology are vital for effective biodiversity conservation the mountains. Gongga Mountain, located southeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, represents one of longest elevational gradients (ca. 6,500 m, from ca. 1,000 to 7,556 m) world studying patterns. However, gradient plant this mountain poorly studied. Here, we compiled distributions 2,667 native seed occurring estimated diversity,...
Abstract Wood density indicates important plant functions and plays a key role in carbon cycling of forest ecosystems by affecting wood decomposition. However, how varies globally it evolved through the evolutionary history angiosperms remain unclear. Here, integrating data density, phylogeny, distributions for worldwide, we estimated global spatiotemporal patterns their relationships with modern climate paleoclimate. We found that mean decreased latitude northern hemisphere but increased...
ABSTRACT Aim A species' rate of climatic niche evolution may reflect its ability to survive changing climates. Yet large‐scale studies these rates remain limited. Here, we assessed global patterns in among angiosperms and explored the potential drivers shaping patterns. Location Global. Time Period Current. Major Taxa Studied Angiosperms. Methods We estimated broad‐scale niches for 231,567 angiosperm species based on distributional data from over 1100 sources. By integrating a published...
Summary The huge variety of inflorescences plays an important role in the reproductive success and diversification flowering plants. However, influence climate on inflorescence diversity at macroecological macroevolutionary scales remains poorly understood. In this study, we map global spatiotemporal pattern types investigate patterns angiosperm diversity. Our results reveal a clear latitudinal trend types, with indeterminate frequency increasing away from equator. Pollination mode...
Mechanisms underlying large‐scale spatial patterns of species richness are one the central issues in ecology. Although contemporary climate, evolutionary history, and historical climate change have been proposed as drivers patterns, variation relative importance different factors remains a major challenge. Here, using newly compiled distribution data with resolution 100 × km for 43 023 angiosperms plant east Eurasia, we mapped plants growth forms (i.e. woody versus herbaceous) range sizes...

Abstract Understanding large-scale patterns of biodiversity and their drivers remains central in ecology. Many hypotheses have been proposed, including hydrothermal dynamic hypothesis, tropical niche conservatism Janzen’s hypothesis a combination model containing energy, water, seasonality habitat heterogeneity. Yet, relative contributions to groups with different lifeforms range sizes remain controversial, which limited our ability understand the general mechanisms underlying species...
Floral symmetry plays an important role in plant-pollinator interactions and may have remarkable impacts on angiosperm diversification. However, spatiotemporal patterns floral drivers of these remain unknown. Here, using newly compiled (actinomorphy versus zygomorphy) data 279,877 species their distributions phylogenies, we estimated global geographic macroevolutionary dynamics symmetry. We found that frequency actinomorphic increased with latitude, while zygomorphic decreased. Solar...
Plant sexual systems play an important role in the evolution of angiosperm diversity. However, large-scale patterns frequencies (i.e. dioecy, monoecy, and hermaphroditism) their drivers for species with different growth forms remain poorly known. Here, using a newly compiled database on distributions 19780 China, we map geographical woody herbaceous separately. We use these data to test following two hypotheses: (1) prevalence differs between assemblies because plants have taller canopies...
Abstract Aim Woody and herbaceous habits represent one of the most distinct contrasts among angiosperms, proportion woody species in floras (i.e., “woodiness” hereafter) represents a fundamental structural element plant diversity. Despite its core influence on ecosystem processes, spatio‐temporal patterns woodiness remain poorly understood. Here, we aim to demonstrate global angiosperm their relationship with environmental factors. Location Global. Time period Cenozoic, 66 Ma present. Major...
