Species indicator values, especially those defined by Ellenberg, have been used widely in
applied plant ecology, forestry and agriculture. In spite of being criticised by many, there is a …

The recently recognized importance of organic nitrogen (ON), particularly amino acids, to
plant nutrition in many types of agricultural and natural ecosystems has raised questions …

Most ecologists are not card-carrying members of either individualistic or interdependent
guilds, but our perception of plant community organization, and the way we conduct …

We introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values
(alternative 'Ellenberg values' for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity …

Eastern deciduous forests have been invaded by two exotic species that often dominate the
understory vegetation. Berberis thunbergii, a woody shrub, forms dense thickets, while …

Global energy use and food production have increased nitrogen inputs to ecosystems
worldwide, impacting plant community diversity, composition, and function. Previous studies …

We present results from a study of soil solution concentrations of ammonium (NH 4+), nitrate
(NO 3–), and amino acid N over one growing season along a local 90-m-long plant …

1 In a metapopulation context, the distribution of a species in a patchy landscape is
interpreted as the equilibrium outcome of extinction and colonization processes. Populations …

Ellenberg's indicator values scale the flora of a region along gradients reflecting light,
temperature, continentality, moisture, soil pH, fertility and salinity. They can be used to …

Ecologically meaningful predictors are often neglected in plant distribution studies, resulting
in incomplete niche quantification and low predictive power of species distribution models …
