The role of landscape, topography, and geodiversity in explaining vascular plant species richness in a fragmented landscape
We explained vascular plant species richness patterns in a 286 km2 fragmented landscape with a notable human influence. The objective of this study was two-fold: to test the relative importance of landscape, topography and geodiversity measures, and to compare three different landscape-type variable...

We used generalized linear modeling based variation partitioning and generalized additive models with different explanatory variable sets.
