The relationships of plant species occupancy to niches and traits vary with spatial scale ...
Aim: Support for different underlying mechanisms of species occupancy is inconsistent, yet this could be related to spatial scale. Since abiotic filtering typically acts at broader scales than biotic interactions, we hypothesise that occupancy could be more driven by species’ abiotic niche (i.e., to...

Since abiotic filtering typically acts at broader scales than biotic interactions, we hypothesise that occupancy could be more driven by species’ abiotic niche (i.e., tolerance and preference of abiotic conditions) at broad scales, whereas species’ traits affecting competitive ability could be more important at fine scales.

Methods: We derived occupancy for 106 species at four spatial scales (Micro-scale with plot size of 0.04 m 2 and extent of 2 km, Local-scale with plot size of 4 m 2 and extent of 40 km, Regional-scale with plot size of 4 ha and extent of 800 km, and Polar-scale with plot size of 4 km 2 and extent of 5200 km).

Aim: Support for different underlying mechanisms of species occupancy is inconsistent, yet this could be related to spatial scale. Since abiotic filtering typically acts at broader scales than biotic interactions, we hypothesise that occupancy could be more driven by species’ abiotic niche (i.e., tolerance and preference of abiotic conditions) at broad scales, whereas species’ traits affecting competitive ability could be more important at fine scales.
