Growing recognition of the importance of long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plant seeds for
various ecological and evolutionary processes has led to an upsurge of research into the …

In this review, we focus on the biotic parameters that are crucial to an understanding of the
recruitment dynamics of North American boreal tree species following natural (fire, budworm …

Unprecedented modern rates of warming are expected to advance boreal forest into Arctic
tundra, thereby reducing albedo,–, altering carbon cycling and further changing climate …

Abstract Vittoz P. and Engler R. 2007. Seed dispersal distances: a typology based on
dispersal modes and plant traits. Bot. Helv. 117: 109–124. The ability of plants to disperse …

Models of plant migration based on estimates of biological parameters severely
underestimate the rate of spread when compared to empirical estimates of plant migration …

Summary 1 Global warming will probably shift treelines upslope in alpine areas and towards
the pole in arctic environments. However, responses of regional treelines to climatic trends …

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for
population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully …

Conventional plant dispersal classification systems use simple binary assignment schemes
classifying each species as either being dispersed by means of a certain dispersal vector or …

Over the past century, various mechanistic models have been developed to estimate the
magnitude of seed dispersal by wind, and to elucidate the relative importance of physical …

The field of plant population ecology has advanced considerably in the last decade since
the first edition was published. In particular there have been substantial and ongoing …
