Abstract: Establishment is the most sensitive process in the life-cycle of plant species, and each stage – from germination to survival and growth – can be affected by environmental factors and plant traits. We hypothesized that… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.8683
Abstract: We studied the secondary succession in semi-natural grasslands (dry grasslands and hay meadows) located in the eastern side of the Tuscan Apennines (Tuscany, Central Italy). We compared these habitats, investigating: (i) the changes in species… read more here.
