Difference between
version 8
and
version 1:
Lines 1-2 were replaced by lines 1-23 |
- *Possible anlyses |
- **Homogenization question |
+ *Initial goals |
+ **explain variation in species loss with nitrogen addition (proportional richness decline) |
+ **25% mean loss, 5-60% range in loss |
+ **function of climate/environment? |
+ ***N mineralization |
+ ***pH |
+ ***water content |
+ ...many others |
+ \\=reported mean from each site |
+ *final theoretical structural equation model= interactions among: |
+ **climate |
+ **soils |
+ **initial community conditions (ANPP, SR, Comp) |
+ **ANPP Increase |
+ **Functional Group Turnover |
+ **Treatment conditions |
+ \\probably best to start with multiple regression tools |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+ *Possible analyses using the already-integrated dataset |
+ **Homogenization question: Does nitrogen addition result in a more homogenized community? |
+ ***Mechanisms: 1) rare species dropping out or 2) rare species becoming more common |
Line 4 was replaced by lines 25-27 |
- **Rank abundance curves |
+ **Rank abundance curves comparing different treatments |
+ ***one use: define what the rare species are |
