Using niche models of indicator species to predict the distribution of xerophytic shrub dune communities

Dune plant assemblages are affected by severe conditions, which makes them excellent models for studying the effects of species interactions and environmental conditions on community structure. We evaluate the relationship between the structure of dune communities, local environmental conditions and...
