Abstract:During primary succession, the abundance of different species and their associated plant traits change over time. Understanding how plant traits linked to colonising and competitive abilities change through succession is important for determining whether community assembly can be predicted. Examining this across more than one taxon group can reveal if these patterns are generalisable.
Here, we investigated primary succession on bare chalk for a chronosequence spanning 33 years for two different taxa, vascular… Show more
