Remobilized old‐leaf nitrogen predominates for spring growth in two temperate grasses
TL;DR: Net balances of labelled N suggest that N was translocated between tillers; reproductive tillers acted as sinks, vegetative tillers as the source of N, and labelled N was derived from senescing leaves present on overwintering tillers.

A Method for Classifying European Riverine Wetland Ecosystems Using Functional Vegetation Groups
Abstract: The aim of this work is to formulate a methodology for the use of trait analysis to classify European riverine wetlands into functional vegetation types. Plant species and data on biological traits and survival strategy were collected from sites in England (Bradford Mill and Kismeldon, River Torridge), France (R. Allier at Apremont and the R. Loire at Decize) and Ireland (R. Shannon at Clonmacnoise and the Little Brosna near Banagher) during 1991. Linear and multiple discriminant analyses were used to distinguish objectively between plant populations with a priori-selected strategies. There appeared to be very little variation in disturbance-tolerance between the wetland plant populations studied (...)

Plant species diversity in Mediterranean old-growth forests: A case study from central Italy
TL;DR: The results suggest that forest management determines ecological differences that strongly affect plant species composition that could allow development of new approaches and practices in forest management focusing on biodiversity conservation.

The Influence of Time on the Soil Seed Bank and Vegetation across a Landscape-Scale Wetland Restoration Project
TL;DR: Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve (NNR) in Cambridgeshire, UK is a wetland of international importance isolated in a landscape dominated by arable farming The prospect of species extinctions within the NNR led to the creation of the Wicken Fen Vision, an ambitious project that will eventually expand the reserve boundary by the purchase and restoration of c50 km2 of arable land as discussed by the authors.

Factors affecting the success of early salt-marsh colonizers: seed availability rather than site suitability and dispersal traits
Reza Erfanzadeh,Reza Erfanzadeh,Angus Garbutt,Julien Pétillon,Jean-Pierre Maelfait,Jean-Pierre Maelfait,Maurice Hoffmann,Maurice Hoffmann +7 more
TL;DR: The existence of an existing salt marsh adjacent to the restoration site is shown to be vital for fast colonization of newly created intertidal areas, and seed availability was more important in explaining the sequence of species establishment than salt and nutrient-limitation tolerance.
