Habitat Specialization in Serpentine Grasslands and the Growth-Defense Trade-Off (Going): The specialization of species to different habitats can generate high species diversity in environmentally heterogeneous regions by promoting “beta diversity,” or spatial turnover in species composition. For plants, physiological adaptations to different environments, and tradeoffs between competitive ability and stress tolerance, are traditionally viewed as the primary mechanisms driving habitat specialization.
