We investigated the role of plant interactions in producing the zonation of strong competitors,
ie clonal dominants, and weak competitors, ie interstitials. In addition, it was tested whether …

Questions Are communities structured on a hydrological (soil moisture) gradient? Is there
spatial segregation into hydrological niches? What is the shape of the hydrological niches of …

Questions The order of plant species arrival can affect recruitment and subsequent plant
community development via priority effects, but is often overlooked. Priority effects occur …

In 1960, Preston predicted that the process of species accumulation in time (species–time
relationship, STR) should be similar to the species–area relationship (SAR) and follow a …

Questions: How do successional systems contribute to our understanding of plant
invasions? Why is a community‐level approach important in understanding invasion? Do …

Alterations in biotic interactions alongside climatic factors are proposed to affect the
extinction risks of alpine and subalpine plant species. We examined the population …

Aim When modelling the distribution of animals under current and future conditions, both
their response to environmental constraints and their resources' response to these …

Species distribution models are the most widely used tool to predict species distributions for
species conservation and assessment of climate change impact. However, they usually do …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to infer species–environment
relationships, predict spatial distributions and characterise species' environmental niches …

In agricultural landscapes many plant species are limited to the network of landscape
elements that are not used for agricultural production. This habitat is fragmented in space …
