Drivers of species richness and compositional change in Scottish coastal vegetation

Question What are the main drivers of vegetation change within coastal dune and machair habitats and are these amenable to action to protect biodiversity at a local and national scale? Location Coastal areas of Scotland. Methods A national‐scale, quadrat‐based re‐visitation survey was used to assess where changes were occurring in terms of species richness and composition. Regression trees and linear mixed modelling were used to identify the...
