A demographic interpretation of Grime's triangle
TL;DR: It is concluded that it would be premature to abandon attempts to reconcile these two important approaches to plant life history, and there are a priori grounds for analogy between Grime's three primary strategies of the established phase in plants and the demographic processes of growth, survival and fecundity.

Cirsium species show disparity in patterns of genetic variation at their range-edge, despite similar patterns of reproduction and isolation
TL;DR: There is a major disparity between patterns of genetic variation in C. acaule and C. heterophyllum despite very similar patterns in seed production and population isolation in these species, suggesting it may be misleading to make assumptions about the geographical structure of genetic variations within species based solely on the present-day reproduction and distribution of populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sources of plants colonizing experimentally disturbed patches in an acidic grassland, in eastern England
TL;DR: No species appeared to be reliant on only one mechanism for regeneration from seed in disturbed areas in this community, and three higher plant species seemed to depend most on non-rabbit dispersed seed for colonization of bare ground.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between seed size and abundance in plant communities: model predictions and observed patterns
TL;DR: It seems likely that patterns of seed size and abundance in communities are determined by a complex interaction between environmental factors and correlations of plant attributes that determine a species’ strategy.

Questioning the relevance of shifting cultivation to Neolithic farming in the loess belt of Europe: evidence from the Hambach Forest experiment
TL;DR: The Hambach Forest experiment as discussed by the authors provides valuable comparative data on the weed floras growing in newly cleared cultivation plots in an area of longlived mixed oak woodland on loess-based soil.
