shows a more pronounced behavior,
indicating that diversity is more affected than richness and evenness by
area. It is worth noting here that in the pedodiversity literature other
hypotheses have been put forward to explain habitat heterogeneity. It is
hypothesized that habitat heterogeneity and pedodiversity are largely
driven by plate tectonic dynamics and their repercussions in Earth surface
systems (Ibáñez and Effl and 2011). Even if similar regularities have been
observed for biodiversity and pedodiversity patterns this hypothesis
suggests that different underlying ...
