Long‐term spatial dynamics of Succisa pratensis in a changing rural landscape: linking dynamical modelling with historical maps (2006, unknown): “Although such parameters are difﬁcult to estimate, recent research has provided much more accurate data on dispersal both by wind and by other vectors (Soons & Heil 2002; Tackenberg et al .”
Costs of dispersal (2012, background): “These costs may however, also follow settlement due to genetically or environmentally unsuitable habitat, as evidenced for microbial communities (Van der Gucht et al., 2007), higher plants (Soons & Heil, 2002) and marine planktonic macro-invertebrate larvae (Olafsson et al., 1994).”
Evolutionary changes in plant reproductive traits following habitat fragmentation and their consequences for population fitness (2012, background): “…is a trade-off between dispersal capacity and other life-history traits (e.g. seed size and associated competitive power of emerging seedlings; Soons & Heil 2002; Jakobsson & Eriksson 2003; but see Skarpaas et al. (2011) for confounding environmental effects on this trade-off), individuals…”
Habitat fragmentation reduces grassland connectivity for both short‐distance and long‐distance wind‐dispersed forbs (2005, methodology): “More details on the species are given by Soons & Heil (2002) and Jongejans & de Kroon (2005).”
The rough edges of the conservation genetics paradigm for plants (2006, background): “…Mix et al. (2006) found that for the wind-dispersed Hypochaeris radicata, terminal velocity of seeds – a characteristic determining the dispersal potential of individual seeds (Soons & Heil 2002; Tackenberg 2003; Tackenberg et al. 2003; Soons et al. 2004) – was correlated with population size.”
Dispersal potential in plant communities depends on environmental conditions (2004, background): “Evidence for this has been provided at the population level for some grassland forbs (Soons & Heil 2002).”
Space versus time variation in the population dynamics of three co‐occurring perennial herbs (2005, background): “Nutrient-poor, species-rich grasslands may differ in productivity, abiotic conditions (e.g. water table), vegetation composition and management regime (Soons & Heil 2002; Soons et al .”
Which plant traits predict species loss in calcareous grasslands with extinction debt? (2012, background): “Both anemochorous species and species with lower terminal velocity of seeds also have relatively smaller seeds (Westoby et al., 1996; Soons & Heil, 2002).”
Dispersal, demography and spatial population models for conservation and control management (2008, background): “17 pratensis detailed information is also available on multiple interactions between habitat 18 isolation, habitat quality, population size, inbreeding depression and gene flow through 19 seed dispersal (Soons and Heil, 2002; Vergeer et al., 2003; Jongejans et al., 2006; Mix et 20 al., 2006).”
Ecological theory provides strong support for habitat restoration (2017, background): “…abilities and with special dispersal vectors as they have historically benefited the most from well-connected meta-communities (Saar et al., 2012; Soons and Heil, 2002) and due to the trade-off between local competitive ability and dispersal ability (Westoby et al., 1996), they are relatively…”
Mechanistic models of seed dispersal by wind (2011, background): “Plant population size, isolation, and local nutrient status have been shown to affect variation in Vt within species (Cody and Overton 1996; Soons and Heil 2002; Riba et al. 2009), either through genetic or environmental effects.”
Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “First, most linear landscape elements are unsuitable for seedling establishment because of high plant productivity and vegetative cover (Soons and Heil 2002; Soons et al. 2005; van Dorp et al. 1997).”
Plant functional connectivity – integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal (2017, unknown): “…production, seed predation, seed banking, the presence of germination microsites and germination ability are also important determinants for functional connectivity (Soons & Heil 2002; Orrock & Damschen 2005; Rico, Boehmer & Wagner 2012), and should be incorporated into future mechanistic models.”
Assessing the integrated effects of landscape fragmentation on plants and plant communities: the challenge of multiprocess–multiresponse dynamics (2014, background): “…of landscape fragmentation, which may lead to lower individual performance (Angeloni, Ouborg & Leimu 2011; Vranckx et al. 2012), diminished colonization capacity (Soons & Heil 2002; Seifert & Fischer 2010) and increased risk of local extinction (Joshi et al. 2006; Honnay & Jacquemyn 2007).”
