Abstract Human‐induced disturbances such as dam construction and regulation have led to widespread alterations in hydrological processes thus substantially influence plant characteristics the hydro‐fluctuation zones (HFZs). To reveal utilization of limited resources mechanisms inter‐specific competition species co‐existence communities based on niche breadth overlap under different HFZs Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) China, we conducted a field investigation with 368 quadrats effects diversity...
The reservoir water level fluctuation zones (RWLFZs) and the natural riparian (NRZs) are two ecosystems with dramatically opposite hydrological rhythms which notably influence plant guilds. However, little is known about discrepancy of functional traits niche characteristics guilds in RWLFZ NRZ under different flooding rhythms. Here RWLFZs (degraded zones) NRZs were chosen Xiangxi River Basin Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) to investigate variation community structure, spatial patterns...

Abstract Human-induced disturbances such as dam construction and regulation often alter the duration,frequency seasonality of flooding thus substantially influence plant characteristics in hydro-fluctuation zones. However, effect mechanism anti-seasonal hydrological alterations on vegetation distribution patterns niche water level fluctuation zones (WLFZs).is still unclear. In this study, 368 quadrats were selected to investigate effects regimes foristic composition, species diversity...
