Abstract:

Spatial dimension of abandoned fields has been expanding more in rural subalpine zones of Nepal leading to various patterns of secondary succession. The secondary succession in the subalpine Himalayas has not yet been evaluated. Here, I describe a study initiated in Manang district, Central Nepal where enough abandoned fields of different chronosequences were located. A definitive successional pattern was predicted from the data obtained from sampling 256 plots of 1 × 1 m2 each systematically in a total of 43 abandoned fields from 1 to 55 years after abandonment.

Abstract:

The effects of natural succession on plant and soil bacterial communities were previously established, but changes in plant and soil bacterial communities and their response to soil properties are not well characterized in different stages of secondary forest succession, especially in tropical regions with endemic plant species. We investigated the dynamics of plant communities, soil properties and the structure of soil bacterial communities at sites representing 33 (early successional stage), 60 (early-mid successional stage) and 73 (mid successional stage) years of secondary succession in th

ABSTRACTTo study regeneration on landslides, we counted the number of woody stems at least 1 m tall in 2 m × 5 m permanent plots on Puerto Rican landslides for 5 y and generated successional pathways for all plots in 16 different landslides using principal components analysis (PCA). PCA separated plots well, with early successional plant species (Cecropia schreberiana, Schefflera morolotoni, Alchornea latifolia, Gonzalagunia spicata) positively associated with axes I and II, and the negative portion of axis II associated with a mix of those species and mid-successional species (Inga vera, Pipe

Abstract:

Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) can form symbiotic relationships with plants, aiding in plant growth by providing access to nutrients and defense against phytopathogenic fungi. In this context, factors such as plant assemblages and soil properties can impact the interaction between EMF and phytopathogenic fungi in forest soil. However, there is little understanding of how these fungal interactions evolve as forests move through succession stages. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to investigate fungal communities in young, intermediate, and old subtropical forests. At the

The studies on populations in the course of forest succession in abandoned meadows (15 ha) were conducted for 15 years (1974-1988).

Three types of population dynamics were distinguished: 1) developmental cycle (increase, decrease and equilibrium in population size) lasted as long as forest comeback; 2) developmental cycle acco

Abstract. Secondary succession on arable fields is a popular system for studying processes influencing community assembly of plants. During early succession, the arrival and establishment of those propagules that can pass the environmental filters operating at a given site should be among the dominant processes leading to an initial increase in species richness. With ongoing succession, environmental filtering should decrease in relative importance compared to competitive interactions, which then should decrease species richness. Thereby, the phylogenetic structure of communities should change

Abstract:

This research program incorporates four primary objectives: (1) develop a comprehensive vegetation classification for Bryce Canyon National Park and to map the current and potential vegetation for the park; (2) develop a vital attributes succession model which depicts the successional development and disturbance response of plant communities in Bryce Canyon; (3) determine and characterize the fuel loads typical of each successional community type; (4) predict the behavior of fires occurring in each of the successional community types.

Abstract. Glacier forefields have long provided ecologists with a model to study patterns of plant succession following glacier retreat. While plant-survey-based approaches applied along chronosequences provide invaluable information on plant communities, the “space-for-time” approach assumes environmental uniformity and equal ecological potential across sites and does not account for spatial variability in initial site conditions. Remote sensing provides a promising avenue for assessing plant colonization dynamics using a so-called “real-time” approach. Here, we combined 36 years of Landsat i

Abstract:

Little is known about the importance of initial colonization in the successional development of restored wetlands. We compared plant communities of two lightly planted restorations (water levels restored + planted and seeded), three hydrologic restorations (water levels restored), and two undrained sites. Measurements typically used in monitoring (richness, diversity, aboveground biomass) indicated that 23 years after restoration, restored wetlands showed only small differences from the plant community structure of undrained wetlands in the saturated zone. In contrast, analysis of vegetation

Abstract:

The initial species composition and conditions following disturbance are crucial to determining the long-term development of vegetation (Egler 1954, Glenn-Lewin et al. 1992). Thus, an understanding of early succession can provide insights into the mosaic of vegetation types that will emerge on a landscape. Observations in the Rocky Mountains and elsewhere indicate that postfire vegetation patterns vary considerably. It is now known that numerous factors simultaneously contribute to the species composition of pioneer vegetation (Stahelin 1943, Cattelino et al. 1979, Glenn-Lewin 1980, Noble and

Abstract:

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations of Salix repens were studied at 16 sites in different successional stages of dune ecosystems (calcareous-acidic, dry-wet) in the Netherlands. High EcM colonization, low AM colonization, and lack of differences between habitats indicate that ectomycorrhizas do not increase their importance in later successional stages. EcM and AM colonization and plant-nutrient status indicate that the relative importance of P and N does not change during succession, but during seasons. Salix repens showed low levels of AM colonization but, neve

<b>Background and aims</b> – The niche theory has become one of the fundamental theories to explain species coexistence. In the present study, the relationships between competition/ facilitation and species niche, and between displacement /coexistence and species niche were further explored by studying the realized niche dynamics of species along a succession process. <b>Materials and methods</b> – By using space series to replace time courses, the niche dynamics of species involved in the plant community succession process in the Waterfront Wetland of Yangtze Rivers Lower Reach, China, were s

Abstract:

Ambrosia beetles bore into the xylem of woody plants, reduce timber quality, and can sometimes cause devastating damage to forest ecosystems. The colonization by different beetle species is dependent on host status, from healthy trees to the early stages of wood decay, although the precise factors influencing their host selection are not well known. Classic studies on plant ecology have determined the niches of different plant species in vegetation succession, based on comparisons of successions in different locations using ordination analyses, although the factors influencing the colonization
