Potential biodiversity map of understory plants for Nothofagus forests in Southern Patagonia: Analyses of landscape, ecological niche and conservation values
The role of understory plants in native forests is critical for ecosystem function,wildlife protection and ecosystem productivity. The interest to estimate biodiversity increased during the last decades at landscape level. The objective was to elaborate a map of potential biodiversity (MPB) of under...

The role of understory plants in native forests is critical for ecosystem function,wildlife protection and ecosystem productivity. The interest to estimate biodiversity increased during the last decades at landscape level. The objective was to elaborate a map of potential biodiversity (MPB) of understory species of Nothofagus forest using potential habitat suitability maps (PHS) of 15 plants in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. Additionally, we asked the following questions: (i) Were plant species differentially distributed according to the forest types?, (ii) do forest types represent different plant species assemblagewith specific ecological niche requirements?, and (iii) is it possibleto detect hotspots in the MBP according to the forest types?We used 721 plots database of vascular plants, fromwhere 15 indicator specieswere identified.
