Location of the study sites and a schematic view of the study design (a,b). β-diversity (βsor) of macrolichens based on all possible pair-wise comparisons, its components of turnover (βsim) and nestedness ((βsne) were studied along the entire elevation gradient at the three sites.Moreover,, along elevation β-diversity based on pairs starting from the lowest elevation band to all other elevation bands and stepwise β-diversity based on pairs from one elevation band to the next neighbouring elevation band were also computed (c).
