Journal ArticleDOI
Die-back of Phragmites australis in European wetlands: an overview of the European Research Programme on Reed Die-back and Progression (1993–1994)
TL;DR: It was concluded that in stagnant water bodies the present water table management enforces the effects of eutrophication on the reed die-back, and local disturbances, such as the mechanical mowing, of reeds may enhance reedDie-back.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient status, disturbance and competition: an experimental test of relationships in a wet meadow
TL;DR: It is shown that with increased nutrient availability, nutrient limitation weakens and competition for light becomes the decisive factor and is the most important cause of a decrease in species richness under high nutrient levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of a species-rich flood meadow by topsoil removal and diaspore transfer with plant material
Norbert Hölzel,Annette Otte +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Diaspore transfer with plant material proved to be an extremely successful method in restoring species-rich grass- land in the northern Upper Rhine in Germany.
Journal ArticleDOI
15N abundance of surface soils, roots and mycorrhizas in profiles of European forest soils.
Peter Högberg,Lars Högbom,Helga Schinkel,Mona N. Högberg,Christian Johannisson,Håkan Wallmark +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a flux of N through ECMs to aboveground parts in N-limited forests would leave 15N enriched compounds inFungal material, which could contribute to explain the observed δ15N profiles if fungal material is enriched, because it is a precursor of stable organic matter and recalcitrant N.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is leaf dry matter content a better predictor of soil fertility than specific leaf area

TL;DR: Gradients of soil fertility are frequently also gradients of biomass accumulation with reduced irradiance lower in the canopy, and SLA, which includes both fertility and shade components, may often discriminate better between communities or treatments than LDMC, however, LDMC should always be the preferred trait for assessing gradientsof soil fertility uncoupled from shade.
