Abstract
⺠Extensive dataset was used to study plant diversity in alvar grasslands. ⺠Species richness was the highest under intermediate environmental conditions. ⺠Richness and phylogenetic diversity were influenced by different processes. ⺠Areas where species' immigration routes merge were characterized by high richness. ⺠High phylogenetic diversity was connected to long history of continuous openness.
