Mollusc community patterns and species response curves along a mineral richness gradient: a case study in fens (2006, background): “Species responses to target factors have been studied much more frequently in vegetation science; calcium content and pH are among the most important factors controlling the species richness and composition of plant communities (Chytrý et al., 2003).”
Nutrient limitation and botanical diversity in wetlands: can fertilisation raise species richness? (2005, background): “…generally a positive relationship between pH and species richness in temperate vegetation (Bedford et al. 1999, Olde Venterink et al. 2001, Pärtel 2002, Chytry et al. 2003), a base-rich soil rather than balanced nutrient supply may well have been the main reason why vegetation with intermediate N”
Scale- and taxon-dependent biodiversity patterns of dry grassland vegetation in Transylvania (2014, background): “The low negative effect of soil pH on plant diversity (Table 2) is unexpected, as numerous studies found strong effects of pH in European grasslands (e.g. Chytrý et al., 2003; Reitalu et al., 2014; Schuster and Diekmann, 2003).”
Habitat diversity of central European fens in relation to environmental gradients and an effort to standardise fen terminology in ecological studies (2006, background): “Calcareous fens are, however, not entirely homogeneous and the large species pool of calcicoles (see Chytrý et al., 2003) provides a great number of classification characters for further divisions.”
The Variation of Testacean Assemblages (Rhizopoda) Along the Complete Base-Richness Gradient in Fens: A Case Study from the Western Carpathians (2006, background): “This pattern has been explained by a large calcicole species pool that has resulted from historical and evolutionary processes (for details see Partel 2002 and Chytrý et al. 2003 ).”
