Harsh environmental conditions in alpine ecosystems shape vegetation structure into patches, where many different plant species cluster and grow together. Yet, which factors are important for the structure and dynamics of such plant–patch networks remains poorly understood. We aim to assess which and how environmental and biotic factors predict the assembly of plant–patch networks along a mountain range.

地中海高山草原上植物-植物网络的集合

高山生态系统中恶劣的环境条件使植被结构形成斑块，许多不同的植物物种聚集并一起生长。然而，对于这种植物补丁网络的结构和动态而言，哪些因素至关重要。我们的目标是评估哪些因素以及环境因素和生物因素如何预测山脉上植物补丁网络的组装。
