Does plant competition intensity rather depend on biomass or on species identity
TL;DR: It is concluded, that a biomass advantage over the competitors seems to play a crucial role only for successful seedling establishment, while competitive interactions of neighbouring plants depend on species-specific biomass allocation strategies at both developmental stages.

Determination of plant species cover by means of image analysis
Hansjörg Dietz,Thomas Steinlein +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is described for the determination of plant species cover in herbaceous plant communities by means of image analysis, which is a computerized extension of the quadrat-charting method.

Assessing Conservation Action for Substitution of Missing Dynamics on Former Military Training Areas in Central Europe
Anke Jentsch,Anke Jentsch,Silke Friedrich,Silke Friedrich,Thomas Steinlein,Wolfram Beyschlag,Werner Nezadal +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of conservation action for substitution of missing dynamics in dry acidic grasslands on sandy soils and found that only topsoil removal and tank driving effectively remove organic material and create self-sustaining vegetation dynamics.

Soil crusts and disturbance benefit plant germination, establishment and growth on nutrient deficient sand
TL;DR: The influence of soil crusts combined with mechanical soil disturbance on germination, establishment, growth and nutrition of Lepidium sativum seedlings on nutrient poor sand was analyzed under controlled conditions in a growth chamber.

Growth patterns of the alien perennial Bunias orientalis L. (Brassicaceae) underlying its rising dominance in some native plant assemblages
TL;DR: In a field study high regrowth after mowing with varying mowing intensity indicates B. orientalis to be well adapted to disturbed sites as its preferential locations for development of dominance stands, and the results of this study enable the formulation of three hypotheses.
