Overview

This analysis explores changes in beta diversity, nestedness, and turnover amid habitat degradation, indicating biotic homogenisation.

Key Points

  • Biodiversity metrics showed biotic homogenisation in highly degraded habitats, impacting conservation strategies.
  • Pairwise comparison of lichen total beta diversity revealed a small increase (Cliffs delta 0.40) under certain conditions.
  • Partitioning beta diversity allows for better insights into species loss (nestedness) and replacement (turnover) dynamics.
  • Comparing pooled assemblages at habitat degradation levels indicated a trend of lower turnover and higher nestedness.
