Functional redundancy is an important tool for justifying and prioritizing species protection in forest ecosystem, but it is a scale-dependent. If functional redundancy really exists, functional trait composition tends to have higher predictive ability of community assembly than species composition. Thus, comparing the differences in the predictive ability of community assembly between species and functional trait compositions across spatial scale represents a useful tool to quantify how functional redundancy varies across spatial scales. Here, we used variation partitioning in combination with distance-based Moran’s eigenvector maps to compare the differences in the predictive ability of community assembly between species composition and functional trait composition across spatial scales (20, 30, 40, 50, and 100 m) in a 20-ha subtropical forest plot. We found that functional trait composition possessed higher predictive ability of niche-based abiotic filtering process than species composition within 40 m. At 50 and 100 m scales, both species and functional trait compositions had approximately equal predictive ability of dispersal limitation processes. Thus, functional redundancy can only exist within 40 m scale but not 50 and 100 m scales. As a result, priority species loss protection should be performed at 50 and 100 m scales.

热带森林中与规模相关的功能冗余

功能冗余是在森林生态系统中证明和优先考虑物种保护的重要工具,但它依赖于规模。如果功能冗余确实存在,则功能性状组成往往比物种组成具有更高的群落组装预测能力。因此,比较跨空间尺度的物种和功能性状组成之间群落组装预测能力的差异代表了量化功能冗余如何跨空间尺度变化的有用工具。在这里,我们使用变异分区结合基于距离的 Moran 特征向量图来比较跨空间尺度 (20, 30, 40, 50, 和 100 m) 在 20 公顷的亚热带森林地块中。我们发现功能性状组成比40 m内的物种组成具有更高的基于生态位的非生物过滤过程的预测能力。在 50 和 100 m 尺度上,物种和功能性状组成对扩散限制过程的预测能力大致相同。因此,功能冗余只能存在于 40 m 范围内,而不能存在于 50 和 100 m 范围内。因此,应在 50 和 100 m 尺度上进行优先物种损失保护。功能冗余只能存在于 40 m 范围内,而不能存在于 50 和 100 m 范围内。因此,应在 50 和 100 m 尺度上进行优先物种损失保护。功能冗余只能存在于 40 m 范围内,而不能存在于 50 和 100 m 范围内。因此,应在 50 和 100 m 尺度上进行优先物种损失保护。
