DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8255
Abstract: Abstract To understand colonization processes, it is critical to fully assess the role of dispersal in shaping biogeographical patterns at the gene, individual, population, and community levels. We test two alternative hypotheses (H I and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04751-4
Abstract: Refugia within successional mosaics where localized conditions inhibit successional replacement may support large abundances of early colonizing species and their coexistence with strongly competitive late colonizers. Numerous habitats have been hypothesized as refugia from succession… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2020.125747
Abstract: Abstract Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is a shade-tolerant, late successional dominant species in the North American eastern deciduous forest. The objective of this study was to quantify the relationship between climate and radial growth in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2019.103927
Abstract: Abstract Light adaptability is a major driver of succession and evolution in natural forest plant communities. However, the relationship between plants and light is contradictory; light provides energy for plant growth, but excessive light negatively… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.12.045
Abstract: Abstract Disentangling the importance of developmental vs. environmental drivers of variation in forest biomass is key to predicting the future of forest carbon sequestration. At coarse scales, forest biomass is likely to vary along major… read more here.

Earthworms increase plant biomass more in soil with no earthworm legacy than in earthwormâmediated soil, and favour late successional species in competition

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12999
Abstract: Summary As ecosystem engineers, earthworms greatly affect plant communities. They create persistent soil structures enriched by nutrients that improve the conditions for plant growth and modify competition between plant species. We therefore hypothesized that earthworm… read more here.

Reorganization of interaction networks modulates the persistence of species in late successional stages
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Animal Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12710
Abstract: Ecological interaction networks constantly reorganize as interspecific interactions change across successional stages and environmental gradients. This reorganization can also be associated with the extent to which species change their preference for types of niches available… read more here.

Differential role of a persistent seed bank for genetic variation in early vs. late successional stages

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0209840
Abstract: Persistent seed banks are predicted to have an important impact on population genetic processes by increasing effective population size and storing past genetic diversity. Accordingly, persistent seed banks may buffer genetic effects of disturbance, fragmentation… read more here.

Photoprotection Differences between Dominant Tree Species at Mid- and Late-Successional Stages in Subtropical Forests in Different Seasonal Environments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/ijms23105417
Abstract: Plants growing in subtropical regions are often affected by high temperature and high light in summer and low temperature and high light in winter. However, few studies have compared the photoprotection mechanism of tree species… read more here.
