DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9296
Abstract: Abstract Ecosystem functions are heavily dependent on the functional composition of the plant community, i.e., the functional traits of plants forming the community. This, on the one hand, depends on plant occurrence, but on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-018-1233-y
Abstract: Vegetation patterns are a characteristic feature of semi-arid regions. On hillsides these patterns occur as stripes running parallel to the contours. The Klausmeier model, a coupled reaction–advection–diffusion system, is a deliberately simple model describing the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3860-1
Abstract: Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition has caused a decline in native plant species and an increase in exotic plant species in many terrestrial ecosystems; however, vegetation change depends on the rate and/or duration of N input,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04928-5
Abstract: The spatial structure of plant communities in semi-arid regions is mostly derived by plant-plant interactions and environmental heterogeneity. In this study, we investigated the intra- and interspecific interactions and their contribution to growth inhibition in… read more here.
