Abstract:Questions
What are the effects of environmental and dispersal filters on vegetation in small and species‐rich fragments of temperate forests in which species richness increases along the edge–interior gradient?
Location
Small fragments of thermophilic forests in central Bohemia, Czech Republic.
Methods
Repeated vegetation surveys and seed rain samplings were conducted in 71 plots located in 17 forest fragments (0.4 to 255 ha) in an agricultural landscape in Central Europe. A subsequent assessment of seed viabi… Show more
