Age-Related Modulation of the Nitrogen Resorption Efficiency Response to Growth Requirements and Soil Nitrogen Availability in a Temperate Pine Plantation (2016, background): “Still the findings should be interpreted alongside the limitations of the space-for-time approach (Johnson and Miyanishi 2008).”
Management effects on the vegetation and soil seed bank of calcareous grasslands: An 11-year experiment (2011, positive): “…substitution (chronosequence) methods (but see Milberg, 1995), the use of which has been heavily criticised (Collins and Adams, 1983; Pickett, 1988; Johnson and Miyanishi, 2008), and it remains unclear to what extent results were affected by methodological issues rather than by natural processes…”

Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “…which natural networks have assembled may differ substantially from those at which climate change is now operating and, as a result, space-for-time substitutions can also be prone to potentially confounding spatial or biogeographical effects (e.g. latitude, altitude) (Johnson and Miyanishi, 2008).”
Tropical Dry Forest Diversity, Climatic Response, and Resilience in a Changing Climate (2019, methodology): “The methodology that is most appropri te to study and group successional stages is dispu d, with long-term studies, palynology, hronoseque ces, and stand reconstruction all suggested as best practices [9,34].”
Pathways, mechanisms and predictability of vegetation change during tropical dry forest succession (2010, methodology): “, 2004), the chronosequence method and its findings are frequently criticized (Miles, 1979; Walker and del Moral, 2003; Johnson and Miyanishi, 2008).”
Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “However, Johnson and Miyanishi (2008) recently questioned the validity of using chronosequences to infer dynamic patterns from static estimates in ‘space-for-time substitution’, suggesting that some differences among studies may be attributed to inherit methodological deficiencies.”
Space can substitute for time in predicting climate-change effects on biodiversity (2013, background): “Although space-for-time substitution has been discussed and debated widely by ecologists studying chronosequences (2, 3, 6), it has been examined less closely in other contexts.”
Rapid loss of glacial ice reveals stream community assembly processes (2012, background): “Keywords: assembly, deterministic, Glacier Bay, macroinvertebrate, niche filtering, river, stochastic, traits Received 9 January 2012 and accepted 11 February 2012”
Secondary forests of central Panama increase in similarity to old-growth forest over time in shade tolerance but not species composition (2013, background): “Given that landscape and site history affect the accumulation of OG species in SF (Chazdon et al. 2009; Dent & Wright 2009), we must be cautious in our interpretation of chronosequence data (Johnson & Miyanishi 2008; Norden et al. 2009).”
Complex responses of birds to landscape‐level fire extent, fire severity and environmental drivers (2014, background): “We also postulated that the effects of landscape fire severity would dissipate over time as the vegetation regenerated, consistent with post-disturbance succession theories (Johnson & Miyanishi, 2008).”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity during a long‐term succession: insights into assembly processes (2013, background): “…for the analysis of community characteristics, such as biological diversity, that change in a linear fashion over time, and, despite critiques (Johnson & Miyanishi 2008), can contribute to an understanding of landscape processes, even in systems where plant community trajectories do not match…”
