Disturbances by human trampling alter the performance, sexual reproduction and genetic diversity in a clonal woodland herb

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that disturbance by human trampling can decrease the genetic diversity in a clonal woodland plant, suggesting that genetic aspects of woodland plants should be considered in restoring degenerated forest sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential responses of UK upland plants to nitrogen deposition

TL;DR: Although in this experiment dwarf shrubs were more responsive than graminoids to N, in the field at current N inputs the enhanced tillering of the graminoid may be more competitively advantageous, especially where gaps develop in the canopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateglacial climate development in NW Romania – Comparative results from three quantitative pollen-based methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided quantitative reconstructions of the Lateglacial changes in four climate parameters from two fine-resolution pollen profiles in the Gutaiului Mountains, NW Romania, based on two modern analogue techniques (with and without considering vegetation types) and weighted averaging partial least squares regression (WA-PLS), giving evidence for several climatic fluctuations during the period from >−14,700 to 11,500 cal. yr BP.

Secondary succession in a fallow central European wet grassland.

TL;DR: Primary successions in abandoned wet eutrophic grasslands can be predicted on the level of plant communities and functional species groups considering changes in the habitat, the presence of reed species with a specific set of plant traits in the “Initial Floristic Composition” and their potentially high competitive vigour.
