• W3208959247 abstract "In savanna ecosystems, tree canopy patches differ in plant species composition compared to adjacent intercanopy spaces due to different levels of resource availabilities. Mistletoes further augment nutrients underneath tree canopies whilst reducing their hosts’ competitive edge, thus providing more resources and creating patches that support higher understory species richness. However, little is known on how understory species and functional trait assemblages, in both canopy and intercanopy spaces, are affected by varying overstory mistletoe infection intensities. This study investigated how functional and species diversity/composition varied within and between canopy patches and intercanopy spaces of high- and low mistletoe-infected Vachellia karroo trees. The affinity of individual species to the different canopy patches and intercanopy spaces was also assessed. Microhabitats had significantly different species compositions. A higher proportion of species (34%) showed a strong positive affinity towards canopy patches whilst intercanopy spaces were strongly associated with only 9% of recorded species, indicating greater dominance of some species there. Generally, subcanopy patches had significantly higher species richness and diversity, and functional diversity, compared to adjacent intercanopy spaces. These variables increased with increasing mistletoe infection, thus grass, forb and tree species diversity were 17–43% higher, and functional diversity indices were 0.5–28% greater in high- compared to low mistletoe-infection canopy patches. Furthermore, species richness and diversity of C3, C4, annual and perennial plants were 1.27–3.13-fold higher within canopy patches compared to intercanopy spaces and 1.28–1.74-fold greater within high- compared to low mistletoe-infection microhabitats. Consequently, high mistletoe-infection canopy patches had between 1.08 and 3.76-fold greater species richness and diversity of C3, C4, annual and perennial plants compared to the other three microhabitats. Our findings suggest that by enhancing spatial heterogeneity, variations in mistletoe infection facilitate biodiversity and to a lesser extent vegetation structural diversity in these semi-arid savannas." @default.
