Abstract: QuestionUnderstanding the mechanisms determining species composition is one of the central goals in ecology. The limestone landscape of southwestern China is one of the most widely known landscapes developed on carbonate bedrock in the world. We explored the following question: What are the patterns of species composition and phylogenetic structures of the communities developed on the acid and limestone soils?LocationSouthwestern China.MethodsUsing 536 plots on acid and limestone soils, we identified distinct … Show more

“…Variation partitioning and relative importance of variables revealed that the edaphic factor is the most important predictor of relative phylogenetic endemism of angiosperms (Figure 4e), which links recent diversification in the Iberian Peninsula to soils developed on carbonate and evaporite rocks (high soil pH). It has been argued that soil type may be more important than climate in determining species composition at a regional scale (Liu et al., 2020). Indeed, biogeographic regionalization of the Iberian Peninsula based on the endemic flora reflects a primary division between the predominantly basic eastern region and the predominantly acidic western region (Buira et al., 2017; Moreno Saiz et al., 2013), and territories with calcareous (basic) soils or with a mixture of both basic and acidic soils are usually richer in plant species (Lobo et al., 2001).…”

“…Although findings in nearby mountains also reported that CaO and Na 2 O content was associated with the floristic composition in marble and migmatite outcrops (Cantero et al, 2021), previous studies of granite outcrop communities showed a turnover in floristic composition with elevation (Funes & Cabido, 1995). Previous studies in outcrop vegetation in different areas of the world reported that geological variables had a greater influence than climatic variables (Anderson & Ferree, 2010; Liu et al, 2019). However, our data set does not yet allow us to discriminate the level of importance of climatic‐ and rock‐related drivers and this topic deserves further study in the future.…”

“…The extreme floristic variability recorded in different types of rocky outcrops has prompted a series of contributions on outcrop vegetation in various regions of the world (Mota et al, 2008; Liu et al, 2019). In mountain environments, elevation has been reported as a major driver of changes in the floristic composition of outcrop communities (Wiser & Buxton, 2009).…”
