Description
Spatiotemporal variation in the local immigration and extinction of species in a community may form and change the spatial heterogeneity (SH) of vegetation but few studies have evaluated the influences of these processes on SH. SH often occurs in grassland grazed by cattle and sheep. Understanding the formation and dynamics of SH is important because SH profoundly affects local and regional ecological processes. We propose a new way to quantify the effect of the local immigration and extinction of species on SH, and try to clarify the influence of the processes on SH
