The composition of communities of sessile organisms, and the change in species diversity
with time, is a spatially explicit phenomenon. Three spatial factors clearly affect diversity:(1) …

Trait‐based approaches are widely used in community ecology and invasion biology to
unravel underlying mechanisms of vegetation dynamics. Although fundamental trade‐offs …

For plant species adapted to disturbances, the germination niche breadth (the time span
within a year during which the species is able to germinate) may be a key in understanding …

Background In fragmented landscapes, natural and anthropogenic disturbances coupled
with successional processes result in the destruction and creation of habitat patches …

Abstract Background and Aims Models assessing the prospects of plant species at the
landscape level often focus primarily on the relationship between species dynamics and …

Habitat suitability estimated with probability of occurrence in species distribution models
(SDMs) is used in conservation to identify geographic areas that are most likely to harbor …

The long‐term spatio‐temporal dynamics of a sparse dry‐grassland community (Thymo‐
Festucetum) is investigated by a spatially explicit individual‐based simulation model and by …

Demographic models are widely used to produce management recommendations for
different species. For invasive plants, current management recommendations to control local …

Aims Factors limiting distributions of species are fundamental to ecology and evolution but
have rarely been addressed experimentally for multiple species. The conspicuous linear …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely used in ecology, biogeography, and
conservation. Although ecological theory predicts that species occupancy is dynamic, the …
