Journal ArticleDOI

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

An ecological comparison between ancient and other forest plant species of Europe, and the implications for forest conservation

Martin Hermy, +4 more
- 01 Nov 1999 - 
TL;DR: The regional variation in ancient forest plant species suggests that regional lists are more appropriate for assessing the nature conservation value of forests than one global European list and ancientforest plant species may be considered as important biodiversity indicators for forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Susceptibility of Common and Rare Plant Species to the Genetic Consequences of Habitat Fragmentation

Olivier Honnay, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that many fragmented habitats have become unable to support plant populations that are large enough to maintain a mutation-drift balance and that occupied habitat fragments have become too isolated to allow sufficient gene flow to enable replenishment of lost alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can the seed bank be used for ecological restoration? An overview of seed bank characteristics in European communities

Beatrijs Bossuyt, +1 more
- 14 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed seed bank studies (1990-2006) to determine if they provide useful and reliable results to predict restoration success, including seed density, species richness, diversity and evenness of the seed bank community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response of forest plant species to land-use change: a life-history trait-based approach

Kris Verheyen, +4 more
- 01 Aug 2003 - 
TL;DR: Investigating plant traits that determine the response of forest plant species to land use changes using literature data offers good opportunities to gain insight into the mechanisms behind species response to land-use change.
