Plant functional connectivity–integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal
Dispersal is essential for species to survive the threats of habitat destruction and climate
change. Combining descriptions of dispersal ability with those of landscape structure, the …

Restoration of plant species and genetic diversity depends on landscape‐scale dispersal
In the era of ongoing global change, it is highly important that restoration efforts lead to
functioning, self‐sustainable ecosystems that are resilient to disturbance and resistant to …

The trajectory of dispersal research in conservation biology. Systematic review
Dispersal knowledge is essential for conservation management, and demand is growing.
But are we accumulating dispersal knowledge at a pace that can meet the demand? To …

Heterogeneity fosters biodiversity: linking history and ecology of dry calcareous grasslands
J Diacon-Bolli, T Dalang, R Holderegger… - Basic and Applied …, 2012 - Elsevier
Calcareous grasslands in Central Europe harbour a high diversity of plant and animal
species. However, as man-made habitats, they need to be managed in order to maintain …

The geography of human‐mediated dispersal
Abstract Dispersal is a key process in determining the survival of plant species following
habitat fragmentation and climate change, as well as driving the introduction and spread of …

Could green infrastructure supplement ecosystem service provision from semi-natural grasslands?
Ancient semi-natural grasslands in Europe are important for ecosystem service (ES)
provision. Often, the surrounding matrix contains 'Grassland Green Infrastructure'(GGI) that …

Seed dispersal in both space and time is necessary for plant diversity maintenance in fragmented landscapes
J Plue, SAO Cousins - Oikos, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Metacommunity theory emphasizes that seed dispersal not only limits but equally maintains
plant diversity, though the latter receives little empirical attention. Discerning the temporal …

Sheep trampling on surface‐lying seeds improves seedling recruitment in open sand ecosystems
C Eichberg, TW Donath - Restoration Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Low‐intensity grazing with domestic ungulates is an important tool in restoration to enhance
habitat openness and foster light‐demanding plant species. Ungulates affect plant …

An ecological connectivity network maintains genetic diversity of a flagship wildflower, Pulsatilla vulgaris
Ecological connectivity networks have been proposed as an efficient way to reconnect
communities in fragmented landscapes. Yet few studies have evaluated if they are …
