About this title

Synopsis

This book describes the development, application and evaluation of a method to explain species-environmental relationships. The need for such a method is evident. From an applied point of view, knowledge on the impact of degradation is needed to derive sound possibilities to address the biodiversity crisis. From a fundamental point of view, knowledge on the causal mechanisms is needed to provide a predictive framework which explains how abiotic and biotic factors set limits to species occurrences, ultimately shaping ecosystems. By investigating interrelations between traits and interpreting their function, it was possible to define ?sets of co-adapted species traits designed by natural selection to solve particular ecological problems?, which are termed life-history strategies. These strategies were successfully applied to a fundamental (abundance-occupancy relationships) and an applied problem (rewetting measures). Life-history strategies aggregate information over many different species without sacrificing information on the underlying causal mechanisms. This makes life-history strategies ideally suited to derive the key factors structuring species assemblages.
