Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

Creator:

Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)

Abstract:

In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...

Traits, neighbors, and species performance in prairie restoration

Creator:

Wilson, Mark V., Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, and Roberts, R. E.

Abstract:

Questions: Are traits related to the performance of plant species in restoration? Are the relationships between traits and performance consistent across the functional groups of annual forbs, perennial forbs, and grasses? Do the relationships between traits and performance depend on neighboring functional groups? Location: A former agricultural field, being restored...

Plant traits – a tool for restoration?

Creator:

Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, Wilson, Mark V., Roberts, Rachel, Dunwiddie, Peter W., Stanley, Amanda, and Kaye, Thomas N.

Abstract:

Question: Most results of restoration efforts are species-specific and/or site-specific and therefore are not general enough to be easily applied to other species and other sites. Our research addresses the issue of species-specific results by investigating the feasibility of using plant traits instead of taxonomic species to characterize species responses...
