摘      要：Species richness is one of the focuses of the preponderance of ecological *** and altitudinal gradients of species richness are two wellknown macroecological *** studies on the macroecology of species richness and its determinants are mainly focused on a single scale,although a few include multiple *** multiple scales,we can better understand the diversity gradients and the potential ***,we gathered the maps of distribution for 212 species of Chinese lizards from published studies,and to describe the overall Chinese lizard richness *** studied the relationships between the latitudinal and altitudinal patterns of species richness among Chinese lizards at the assemblage *** further tested the relationship between lizard richness and environmental factors among multiple studied scales(large scale:1.5°×1.5°,medium scale:1°×1°,and small scale:0.5°×0.5°).Regions with higher species richness occurs in in south China,and we found negative latitudinal richness *** found a low-altitude plateau pattern between species richness and altitude,and lizard richness decreased with altitude above 2500 *** richness was positively correlated with temperature and net primary productivity,but negatively correlated with actual evapotranspiration,temperature,and precipitation seasonality at all three ***,lizard species richness was positively correlated with heterogeneity only at the 1°*** on the results across multiple scales,we confirmed that the species richness patterns of Chinese lizards were driven by multiple factors,which consistent with the predictions of the ambient energy,seasonality,and productivity ***,the relationship between lizard richness and heterogeneity differed among studied scales owing to the different levels of altitude heterogeneity within grids at different scales.
