Plant communities and selected environmental parameters were studied at the intermittent
Lake Cerknica. Seventeen plots (16 m 2) were defined down a 600-m transect on a gentle …

Temporarily flooded depressions in arable fields support populations of specialised plant
species that are affected by flooding and agricultural management. Depending on the …

Understanding hydrologic requirements of native and introduced species is critical to
sustaining native plant communities in wetlands of disturbed landscapes. We examined …

Protection of biodiversity and restoration of species-rich plant communities rely on an
adequate understanding of how diversity is regulated. We studied species diversity patterns …

In most cases, the most important determinant of wetland vegetation is the water regime.
Although water regime is usually described and managed at the scale of whole wetlands …

The diversity of plant species and their distribution in space are both thought to have
important effects on the function of wetland ecosystems. However, knowledge of the …

Riparian ecosystems are biophysically complex and highly diverse taxonomically,
structurally and functionally. While many environmental factors determine the structure and …

Aims The diversity–productivity relationship is one of the most critical questions in ecology
and can be altered by environmental factors. Hydrological fluctuation affects growth of …

Hypothesis Variation in species assemblages due to micro-topographic features and flow
regime determine vegetation carbon stock in floodplain wetlands. Material and method We …

Abstract Background and Aims Plants need different survival strategies in habitats differing
in hydrological regimes. This probably has consequences for vegetation development when …
