Moving from pattern to process: Coexistence mechanisms under intermediate disturbance regimes (2004, background): “The range of disturbances was often quite large [from 0 to 100% ground cover disturbed (Wilson & Tilman 2002) or 5 to 94% mass mortality (Stone & Wolfe 1996)].”
Establishment limitation reduces species recruitment and species richness as soil resources rise (2004, background): “Tilman (1993) and Wilson & Tilman (2002) showed that recruitment rate falls as soil resources and standing crop biomass rise.”
DISTURBANCE, PREDATOR, AND RESOURCE INTERACTIONS ALTER CONTAINER COMMUNITY COMPOSITION (2004, background): “E-mail: kneitel@csus.edu (Wootton 1998, Wilson and Tilman 2002).”
Effect of burning and mowing on grass and forb diversity in a long-term grassland experiment (2004, background): “In contrast, short-term experiments may result in spurious conclusions over the impact of disturbance on species richness because the initial response of species richness to disturbance may only be transient (Peet et al. 1983; Wilson & Tilman 2002).”
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; ”
Alterations of Steppe‐Like Grasslands in Eastern Europe: a Threat to Regional Biodiversity Hotspots (2005, background): “The high species diversity of grasslands has been explained by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis (Wilson & Tilman 2002; Li et al. 2004; Shea et al. 2004).”
Interacting effects of fertilization, mowing and grazing on plant species diversity of 1500 grasslands in Germany differ between regions (2013, background): “We could ot test for a unimodal fertilization-diversity relationships Grime 1973; Wilson & Tilman 2002; but see Adler et al. 011), because we did not have information on the amount f fertilizer for all the plots.”
Connectivity, scale‐dependence, and the productivity–diversity relationship (2004, background): “However, several other shapes of the relationship exist, and the relationship is influenced by several factors, including disturbance, consumers, niche specialisation, resource heterogeneity, and community history (Kassen et al. 2000; Mittelbach et al. 2001; Wilson & Tilman 2002; Worm et al. 2002;”
Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “Root interactions are now at the heart of a debate about the relationships between plant species diversity, ecosystem functions such as primary productivity and community invasibility (Wilson & Tilman 2002; Cahill 2003; Rajaniemi 2003b; Rajaniemi et al .”
