Gypsophily has been addressed in plants, although is important to ask whether lichen communities also contain gypsophile species. Therefore, our main aim is the analysis of the affinity of lichens for the gypsum substrate in Spain. Affinity was estimated using two methods: a “geological method”, overlapping lichen occurrence data on a geological map of Spain; and a “biological method”, overlapping the occurrences on a map constructed with the distribution of plant gypsophiles. To assess the accuracy of both methods, we compared them with a literature review. Lichen occurrence data was obtained from GBIF. The biological method was the most accurate as it showed similar percentages to the literature review. The affinity for gypsum substrate has been effectively demonstrated by the employment of these methods, probing the existence of a group of lichens considered gypsophiles. Twenty lichen species are considered gypsophiles, 7 strict and 13 preferential (ca. 40% of 50 taxa analyzed), and 30 gypsovags. This approximation can apply to the study of the affinity for the substrate for other organisms/substrates, and for characterizing geological units when detailed geological maps are not available.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Arid Environments","volume":"224 ","pages":"Article 105216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014019632400096X/pdfft?md5=4f1358ab89d39c3aeb2c9583597eb8d9&pid=1-s2.0-S014019632400096X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141480858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-native species cover increased and several non-native species invaded the study area in the years between post-removal surveys and the recent time period, suggesting <em>Tamarix</em> removal may have been a catalyst for increases in non-native species abundance.

Overall, interactions between targeted removal and shifts in the abiotic environment due to climate change are important drivers of persistent shifts in the plant community.

While most cavity users in the semi-arid forest are not threatened, this ecosystem has been dramatically fragmented, with only 11% of its original area remaining.

Our findings suggest that snake assemblages in the Chaco will undergo significant changes under future climatic conditions, with a clear trend toward biotic homogenization of the ecoregion and a decrease in species richness.

The results reveal that the species predominantly inhabits northwestern China, centering in Gansu's Hexi Corridor and central Inner Mongolia under current climate conditions. Vegetation cover emerges as the primary determinant of its distribution, with elevation, human disturbance, temperature fluctuations, and slope also significantly influencing habitat suitability of the species.
