The use of chronosequences in studies of ecological succession and soil development
Chronosequences and associated space‐for‐time substitutions are an important and often
necessary tool for studying temporal dynamics of plant communities and soil development …

Dynamic and static views of succession: testing the descriptive power of the chronosequence approach
Chronosequence and permanent plot studies are the two most common methods for
evaluating successional dynamics in plant communities. We combined these two …

Testing the assumptions of chronosequences in succession
EA Johnson, K Miyanishi - Ecology letters, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Many introductory ecology textbooks illustrate succession, at least in part, by using certain
classic studies (eg sand dunes, ponds/bogs, glacial till, and old fields) that substituted space …

Why do we need permanent plots in the study of long‐term vegetation dynamics?
This paper presents a survey of vegetation studies on permanent plots, with an emphasis on
the long‐term character of these studies. It makes remarks on the external and internal …

Dynamic plant ecology: the spectrum of vegetational change in space and time
HR Delcourt, PA Delcourt, T Webb III - Quaternary Science Reviews, 1982 - Elsevier
Appreciating the spectrum of spatial and temporal variation in the vegetation is an important
prerequisite to understanding vegetational dynamics. Toward this end, it is imperative to …

[PDF][PDF] Ecosystems over time: succession and other types of change
JA MacMahon - Forests: fresh perspectives from ecosystem analysis, 1980 - Citeseer
Biologists discussing change in ecosystems or communities generally subdivide their
discussion based on the time interval over which change takes place. Short-term changes …

Principal kinds of chronosequences and their significance in soil history
WJ Vreeken - Journal of Soil Science, 1975 - Wiley Online Library
There are four principal kinds of chronosequences of soils that differ in age. These
sequences have different combinations of isochrony and/or time‐transgression of incipience …

Climate cycles, geomorphological change, and the interpretation of soil and ecosystem development
S Hotchkiss, PM Vitousek, OA Chadwick, J Price - Ecosystems, 2000 - Springer
We evaluated changes in temperature and precipitation associated with climate change,
subsidence, and erosion on a chronosequence of sites across Hawaii. The sites range in …
