A longstanding research divide exists in plant ecology: either focusing on plant clonality,
with no ambition to address nonclonal plants, or focusing on all plants, ignoring that many …

As a result of human activities, a considerable part of European vascular plants and their
populations are non-native. Since the publication of previous studies summarizing the …

Motivation Although dispersal ability is one of the key features determining the spatial
dynamics of plant populations and the structure of plant communities, it is also one of the …

The existing plant trait databases' applicability is limited for studies dealing with the flora and
vegetation of the eastern and central part of Europe and for large-scale comparisons across …

Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for ecosystem conservation, but ground data collection is
limited by cost, time, and scale. Remote sensing is a convenient approach providing …

It is increasingly recognized that the factors facilitating plant invasions depend on the stage
along the introduction–naturalization–invasion continuum. Adaptative strategies, that is …

Motivation Indicator values are numerical values used to characterize the ecological niches
of species and to estimate their occurrence along gradients. Indicator values on climatic and …

Ecological differences between coexisting species within plant communities can be
assessed by considering functional and phylogenetic dissimilarities either separately or in a …

The plant economics spectrum (PES) drives nutrient cycling through effects on soil
decomposers. However, dead phytomass may remain standing or unshed (marcescent) …

This article describes FloraVeg. EU, a new online database with open‐access information
on European vegetation units (phytosociological syntaxa), vegetated habitats, and plant …
