Plant species richness and persistence of rare plants in abandoned semi-natural grasslands in northern Europe (2005, background): “For example, the occurrence of many grassland species is related to topography-related factors such as site-specific microclimatological characteristics (Grime & Lloyd, 1973; Stoutjesdijk & Barkman, 1992; Sebastiá, 2004).”
Effects of local factors on plant species richness and composition of Alpine meadows (2007, background): “Other studies have shown that abiotic environmental factors, such as topographic or climatic parameters can be important sources of variation of plant diversity, because the occurrence of many grassland species is governed by microclimatological characteristics (Sebastiá, 2004; Bennie et al., 2006).”
The effect of plant succession on slope stability (2011, background): “In the subsequent succesional phase, new species, for example M. malabathricum, S. indica nd D. linearis, whose optimum growth range fits these new set of onditions (Sebastia, 2004), can be established and grown in a short eriod of time.”
Plant guilds drive biomass response to global warming and water availability in subalpine grassland (2006, background): “Turf depth was sufficient to minimize damage to roots, as most below-ground material occurs within the first 20 cm of topsoil (Sebastià 2004).”
Predictive value of plant traits to grazing along a climatic gradient in the Mediterranean (2005, background): “Soils were generally carbonate-rich, with the exception of the subalpine site, where decarbonation processes are common (Sebastià 2004).”
