How do variable patch sizes hold higher beta diversity?

Beta diversity is a fundamental component of regional biodiversity that accumulates from compositional differences between local species assemblages. Although beta diversity is increasingly applied across spatial scales, its scale dependence remains incompletely synthesized, particularly concerning variation in spatial scale used to define alpha diversity (grain size). Using tree community data…
