Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) ecosystems across the western United States have experienced many changes in ecosystem dynamics and vegetation composition over the last century due to livestock grazing, non-native species, and changing climate and fire regimes. We conducted the first systematic investigation of historical vegetation composition and vegetation change in a sagebrush landscape in

From the severity patch to the landscape: Wildfire and spatial heterogeneity in northern Sierra Nevada conifer forests Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-25 Asha Paudel, Scott H. Markwith
Prolonged fire suppression in conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, California, USA, has led to ingrowth of conifer seedlings, converting the open heterogeneous structure into uniformly dense and layered forest. The threat of a stand-replacing fire has increased because of fuel buildup in combination with rising drought and extreme heat frequency caused by climate change. With such high

Grasslands host a significant share of Europe's species diversity but are among the most threatened vegetation types of the continent. Resurvey studies can help to understand patterns and drivers of changes in grassland diversity and species composition. However, most resurveys are based on local or regional data, and hardly reach back more than eight decades. Here, we publish and describe the Historic

Greater variation in boreal plant community composition and community-level traits at local- than regional-scale Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-13 Katherine M. Standen, Jennifer L. Baltzer
Rapid climate change in northern latitudes is expected to influence plant functional traits of the whole community (community-level traits) through species compositional changes and/or trait plasticity, limiting our ability to anticipate climate warming impacts on northern plant communities. We explored differences in plant community composition and community-level traits within and among four boreal

Natural reforestation is an important component of climate mitigation and adaptation, but the ecological processes promoting or constraining it are poorly understood. In this study we employ a stand reconstruction approach (which uses ages of extant trees to estimate year of establishment for each individual tree) to test for general trait-based effects on tree species arrival order in post-agricultural

Fine-scale variation in the effect of the cushion plant Azorella selago on vascular plants, mosses, hepatics and lichens in the sub-Antarctic Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-08-25 Isabelle Patricia Rita Buyens, Morgan Jade Raath-Krüger, William A. Haddad, Peter Christiaan le Roux
Plant–plant interactions can strongly influence community structure and composition. The outcome of these interactions can vary considerably across space and is often linked to environmental conditions, with, for example, a higher prevalence of facilitative interactions typically being observed under greater environmental severity. To date, most studies have documented shifts from competitive to facilitative

Global patterns of phylogenetic beta-diversity components in angiosperms Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-08-22 Gabriel Massaine Moulatlet, Buntarou Kusumoto, Jesús Pinto-Ledezma, Takayuki Shiono, Yasuhiro Kubota, Fabricio Villalobos
Geographic gradients of beta-diversity help understanding the relationship between species and their environment. However, on a global scale, such patterns are only known for a few taxa, mainly terrestrial vertebrates, especially when considering the phylogenetic dimension. Here, we present the first global analysis of phylogenetic beta-diversity (PBD) for angiosperms. We aim to disentangle the relative

Resurvey studies of terricolous bryophytes and lichens indicate a widespread nutrient enrichment in German forests Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-08-16 Martin Diekmann, Thilo Heinken, Thomas Becker, Inken Dörfler, Steffi Heinrichs, Christoph Leuschner, Cord Peppler-Lisbach, Magdalena Osthaus, Wolfgang Schmidt, Ilka Strubelt, Eva-Rosa Wagner
Vegetation resurveys, both single studies and meta-analyses, have predominantly been based on vascular plant data while bryophytes and lichens have largely been neglected. Our study aims to fill this gap and addresses the following research questions: has the overall species richness of terricolous bryophytes and lichens in forests changed over time? Which are the winners and losers among single species

The role of drought, disturbance, and seed dispersal in dominance shifts in a temperate grassland Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-08-04 Ildikó Orbán, Gábor Ónodi, György Kröel-Dulay
More intense and frequent droughts predicted for the future will heavily affect grasslands worldwide and, along with various other disturbances, possibly trigger major vegetation shifts. Therefore, documenting these changes and understanding the mechanisms behind them is essential. Our study aimed to investigate how dominant species in a semiarid grassland respond to a combination of small-scale experimental

Community specialisation in vegetation succession on central-European disturbed sites Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-07-26 Miguel Ballesteros, Klára Řehounková, Kamila Vítovcová, Karel Prach
Conservation and restoration efforts can greatly benefit from understanding how plant community specialisation changes after disturbance. This paper addresses general successional patterns concerning the following questions: How does community specialisation change during succession? What are the general patterns in the occurrence of generalists and specialists? What are the general ecological strategies

Effects of past and present microclimates on northern and southern plant species in a managed forest landscape Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-07-18 Ditte Marie Christiansen, Tanya Strydom, Caroline Greiser, Ryan McClory, Johan Ehrlén, Kristoffer Hylander
Near-ground temperatures can vary substantially over relatively short distances, enabling species with different temperature preferences and geographical distributions to co-exist within a small area. In a forest landscape, the near-ground temperatures may change due to management activities that alter forest density. As a result of such management activities, current species distributions and performances

Small-scale heterogeneity shapes grassland diversity in low-to-intermediate resource environments Journal of Vegetation Science (IF 2.8) Pub Date : 2023-07-08 Adewole Olagoke, Florian Jeltsch, Britta Tietjen, Uta Berger, Hagen Ritter, Stefanie Maaß
Soil resource heterogeneity influences the outcome of plant–plant interactions and, consequently, species co-existence and diversity patterns. The magnitude and direction of heterogeneity effects vary widely, and the processes underlying such variations are not fully understood. In this study, we explored how and under what resource conditions small-scale heterogeneity modulates grassland plant diversity
