The Species Richness of Vascular Plants and Amphibia in Major Plant Communities in Temperate to Tropical Australia: Relationship with Annual Biomass Production
Figure 1
(a) Alpha diversity of amphibians, elapid snakes, lizards, and small mammals resident in plant communities in south-western () and south-eastern Australia (), plotted along the climatic gradient from the semiarid (Evaporative Coefficient, ) to the humid () climatic zones (after [15, 16]). (b) Alpha diversity of birds resident in plant communities in south-western () and south-eastern Australia (), plotted along the climatic gradient from the semiarid (Evaporative Coefficient, ) to the humid () climatic zones (after [15, 16]). (Data for south-western Australia are summarized by Specht in [17] and revised by Professor Martin Cody, UCLA).
