Plant communities of the ironstone ranges of South Western Australia: hotspots for plant diversity and mineral deposits (2010, background): “As a consequence the flora in the region consists of both relictual and more recently evolved lineages (Hopper and Gioia 2004; Butcher et al. 2007; Hopper 2009 ).”
Do mycorrhizal symbioses cause rarity in orchids? (2011, background): “Comparison of germination between Drakaea and other south-west Australian orchid genera demonstrated that, when comparing baiting studies in the orchid’s preferred habitat, Drakaea has a level of germination comparable to or higher than several common orchid genera (Table 3).”
Plant mineral nutrition in ancient landscapes: high plant species diversity on infertile soils is linked to functional diversity for nutritional strategies (2010, background): “It needs to be acknowledged that, in general, ecosystem restoration is likely to be more difficult in OCBILs than in other parts of the world, because of factors listed in Table 4 (Hopper 2009; Standish and Hobbs 2010).”
Does phosphorus limitation promote species-rich plant communities? (2011, unknown): “:P ratio patterns between old weathered soils and younger soils (Hopper 2009).”
Ecology and evolution of plant diversity in the endangered campo rupestre: a neglected conservation priority (2015, methodology): “For example, YODFEL restoration traditionally manipulates soil fertility, whereas fertilisation in OCBIL restoration is strongly discouraged (Hopper 2009), due to the Psensitivity of many plant species (Lambers et al. 2008, 2014b).”
Can an Ecoregion Serve as a Seed Transfer Zone? Evidence from a Common Garden Study with Five Native Species (2011, background): “Such species, particularly those on old, stable terrain, may even develop mechanisms to preserve heterozygosity and adapted gene complexes (Hopper 2009).”
Time and tempo of diversification in the flora of New Caledonia (2012, background): “It is possible that the flora reached saturation some time ago and that the new species are only replacing others as they go extinct. Gillespie & Baldwin (2010) considered that the oldest Hawaiian islands, particularly Kaua’i (4.”
