Chronosequences and associated space‐for‐time substitutions are an important and often
necessary tool for studying temporal dynamics of plant communities and soil development …

This paper reviews the effects that resource manipulations, especially nutrient additions,
have on productivity, diversity, species interactions and succession in natural and semi …

The Ecology of Natural Disturbance and Patch Dynamics brings together the findings and
ideas of researchers studying such varied systems as marine invertebrate communities; …

Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) is quickly becoming the most widely used
gradient analysis technique in ecology. The CCA algorithm is based upon Correspondence …

Disturbance events vary in intensity, size, and frequency, but few opportunities exist to study
those that are extreme on more than one of these gradients. This article characterizes …

Humanity's ever-increasing ability to effect environmental change on a number of spatial
and temporal scales requires tough decisions about how we view, value, and manage …

An individual-based model of plant competition for light that uses a definition of plant
functional types based on adaptations for the simultaneous use of water and light can …

Robert K. Peet and Norman L. Christensen ree deaths are often dramatic events. Fires can
consume thousands of hectares of forest in a single conflagration. The power-ful winds of …

Based on chronosequence studies and permanent plot studies, I describe successional
changes in vegetation structure, population dynamics, species richness, and species …

Studies of tree recruitment are many, but they provide few general insights into the role of
recruitment limitation for population dynamics. That role depends on the vital rates …
