Scale- and taxon-dependent biodiversity patterns of dry grassland vegetation in Transylvania (2014, background): “Although litter may generally have a positive effect on plant recruitment in dry grasslands, large amounts inhibit seedlings (Loydi et al., 2013), leading to stands dominated by a few dominant, perennial species, which do not need to regenerate in”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “Abiotic and biotic filters influencing emergence may include environmental hazards such as freezing and drought events, fungal pathogens and mechanical suppression due to soil crusting, litter, moss or soil burial (Fig. 1; Sydes & Grime 1981; Luzuriaga & Escudero 2008; Loydi et al. 2013).”
