“…It can be inferred that this is due to the enhanced physiological filtering of the environment on species as cold and drought intensify. Low temperatures and water deficits inhibit photosynthesis, slow water transportation, reduce the metabolic rate, and limit the growth of plants ( Cavender-Bares et al., 2005 ; Apostol et al., 2007 ; Nobel, 2009 ; Anderegg and HilleRisLambers, 2016 ; Ahmad et al., 2019 ; Liu et al., 2021 ; Liu et al., 2023 ). By acting on the physiological tolerance of species, the decline in energy and water restricts their geographical distributions and ultimately influences the richness distribution pattern of plants through population dynamics ( Anderegg and HilleRisLambers, 2016 ; Xu et al., 2016 ; Sun et al., 2020 ).…”

Climate varies along geographic gradients, causing spatial variations in the effects of energy and water on species richness and the explanatory power of different climatic factors. Species of the Quercus genus are important tree species in China with high ecological and socioeconomic value. To detect whether the effects of energy and water on species richness change along climatic gradients, this study built geographically weighted regression models based on species richness and climatic data. Variation partition analysis and hierarchical partitioning analysis were used to further explore the main climatic factors shaping the richness distribution pattern of Quercus in China. The results showed that Quercus species were mainly distributed in mountainous areas of southwestern China. Both energy and water were associated with species richness, with global slopes of 0.17 and 0.14, respectively. The effects of energy and water on species richness gradually increased as energy and water in the environment decreased. The interaction between energy and water altered the effect of energy, and in arid regions, the effects of energy and water were relatively stronger. Moreover, energy explained more variation in species richness in both the entire study area (11.5%) and different climate regions (up to 19.4%). The min temperature of coldest month was the main climatic variable forming the richness distribution pattern of Quercus in China. In conclusion, cold and drought are the critical climatic factors limiting the species richness of Quercus, and climate warming will have a greater impact in arid regions. These findings are important for understanding the biogeographic characteristics of Quercus and conserving biodiversity in China.

“…In addition, human activities have clearly influenced the change in vegetation cover ( Gao et al., 2022 ; Song et al., 2022 ). Human beings make policies and implement ecological projects such as Grain-for-Green for closing the mountain for reforestation or precise improvement project of forest quality ( Liu et al., 2023 ) to increase vegetation coverage ( Wen et al., 2017 ; Zhang et al., 2022 ), while factors such as rapid population growth, accelerated urbanization process, unreasonable reclamation and increase of cultivated land area will reduce vegetation coverage ( Dong et al., 2020 ; Gao et al., 2022 ).…”

IntroductionIt is of great significance to understand the characteristics and influencing factors of vegetation coverage variation in the warm temperate zone. As a typical region of the warm temperate zone in eastern China, the mountainous and hilly region in central-south Shandong Province has fragile ecological environment and soil erosion problem. Studying on vegetation dynamics and its influencing factors in this region will help to better understand the relationship between climate change and vegetation cover change in the warm temperate zone of eastern China, and the influence of human activities on vegetation cover dynamics.MethodsBased on dendrochronology, a standard tree-ring width chronology was established in the mountainous and hilly region of central-south Shandong Province, and the vegetation coverage from 1905 to 2020 was reconstructed to reveal the dynamic change characteristics of vegetation cover in this region. Secondly, the influence of climate factors and human activities on the dynamic change of vegetation cover was discussed through correlation analysis and residual analysis.Results and discussionIn the reconstructed sequence, 23 years had high vegetation coverage and 15 years had low vegetation coverage. After low-pass filtering, the vegetation coverage of 1911–1913, 1945–1951, 1958–1962, 1994–1996, and 2007–2011 was relatively high, while the vegetation coverage of 1925–1927, 1936–1942, 2001–2003, and 2019–2020 was relatively low. Although precipitation determined the variation of vegetation coverage in this study area, the impacts of human activities on the change of vegetation coverage in the past decades cannot be ignored. With the development of social economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the vegetation coverage declined. Since the beginning of the 21st century, ecological projects such as Grain-for-Green have increased the vegetation coverage.
