Participation of the Czech flora in succession at disturbed sites

Abstract

: Participation of the Czech flora in succession at disturbed sites: quantifying species' colonization ability. -Preslia 89: 87-100.The colonization of newly created sites by plants is determined by the characteristics of the species and their frequency in the surrounding landscape (mass effect). We used species frequencies from the Database of Successional Series of various disturbed sites across the Czech Republic (DaSS, 2817 phytosociological relevés, 1013 species of vascular plants) to calculate two indice…
