Species divergence and trait convergence in experimental plant community assembly (2005, background): “Thompson et al. 1996; Hooper & Vitousek 1997; Tilman et al. 1997; Grime 2002; Foster et al. 2004 ).”
Metapopulations and metacommunities: combining spatial and temporal perspectives in plant ecology (2012, background): “Alternatively, seed addition studies overcome dispersal limitation by directly sowing species from the surrounding species pool (Tilman 1997; Ehrlén &Eriksson 2000; Turnbull, Crawley & Rees 2000; Foster et al. 2004; Ehrlén et al. 2006).”
Plant strategies and trait trade‐offs influence trends in competitive ability along gradients of soil fertility and disturbance (2005, background): “Indeed, many empirical studies have demonstrated the importance of habitat fertility, disturbance and their interaction on plant community organization (Gibson et al . 1993; Gaudet & Keddy 1995; Fuhlendorf & Smeins 1997; Collins et al . 1998; Kirkman 2002; Osem et al . 2002; Wilson & Tilman 2002; F”
Effects of Frequent Mowing on Survival and Persistence of Forbs Seeded into a Species‐Poor Grassland (2007, background): “The effect of gaps on seedling survival and size is most evident in environments with high fertility and moisture and less important in communities with low productivity (Goldberg & Werner 1983; Davies et al. 1996; Foster et al. 2004).”
Grassland diversity related to the Late Iron Age human population density (2007, background): “The quantity of potential arriving species depends on the size of the species pool (Partel et al. 1996; Zobel 1997; Foster et al. 2004), which is a function of large-scale processes, such as evolution and historical migration of species (Ricklefs 1987; Taylor et al.”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “Increasing propagule pressure (i.e. increasing dispersal from the regional pool) increases productivity and diversity in grasslands under some conditions (Foster & Dickson 2004, Foster et al. 2004) but not others (Foster & Dickson 2004, Foster et al. 2004, Wilsey & Polley 2003).”
Assessing grassland restoration success: relative roles of seed additions and native ungulate activities (2006, background): “Journal compilation © 2006 British Ecological Society, Journal of Applied Ecology (Eriksson & Ehrlen 1992; Zobel et al . 2000; Foster et al . 2004; Henry et al . 2004).”
Effects of altitude and topography on species richness of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens in alpine communities (2006, background): “2002) and the relative importance of the size of the regional species pool increases (Huston 1999; Pärtel et al. 2000; Foster et al. 2004).”
Seed limitation in a Panamanian forest (2005, background): “Seed addition experiments have demonstrated that the failure of seeds to arrive limits recruitment in temperate herb communities (Tilman 1997; Ehrlen & Eriksson 2000; Rand 2000; Turnbull et al . 2000; Foster & Tilman 2003; Foster et al . 2004 ).”
Restoration of Prairie Community Structure and Ecosystem Function in an Abandoned Hayfield: A Sowing Experiment (2007, background): “Non-native species were sown to evaluate questions associated with the original objectives of the experiment (Foster 2001; Foster et al. 2004), which were not explicitly conceived to address the issues of prairie restoration addressed here.”
Determinants of community organization of a South African mesic grassland (2005, background): “Nutrient availability and productivity have been recognized as important determinants of plant community organization and structure (Grime 1979; Tilman 1988; Austin 1990; Gibson et al. 1993; Gaudet & Keddy 1995; Foster et al. 2004; Osem et al. 2004).”
