Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting dispersal spectra: A minimal set of hypotheses based on plant attributes
Lesley Hughes,Michael Dunlop,Kristine French,Michelle R. Leishman,Barbara Rice,Louise Rodgerson,Mark Westoby +6 more
TL;DR: A set of hypotheses are presented which, when considered together, make a probabilistic prediction of the dispersal mode adopted by a plant species and can be used to generate a prediction of its dispersal spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought tolerance in different vegetation types for extensive green roofs: Effects of watering and diversity
Ayako Nagase,Nigel Dunnett +1 more
TL;DR: An experiment investigating the influence of vegetation diversity on green roof plant survival following an imposed drought concluded that a diverse plant mix was more advantageous than a monoculture in terms of greater survivability and higher visual rating under dry conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary ecology of seed dormancy and seed size
TL;DR: The comparative analyses of seed dormancy demonstrate that species that average the environment across time, by having long-lived adults or space as a result of clonal growth, typically have less dormant seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological correlates of endozoochory by herbivores
TL;DR: A substantial quantity and range of seeds are dispersed by herbivores in grazed ecosystems, and this could have a significant effect on the dynamics and species richness of these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing species and community functional responses to environmental gradients: which multivariate methods?
Michael Kleyer,Stéphane Dray,Stéphane Dray,Francesco de Bello,Jan Lepš,Robin J. Pakeman,Barbara Strauss,Wilfried Thuiller,Sandra Lavorel +8 more
TL;DR: All methods consistently revealed the main trait responses to environment in the field data set, namely that life history was associated with available phosphorus while grazing intensity was related to leaf C:N ratio and canopy height.
