The Effect of Restoration Methods on the Quality of the Restoration and Resistance to Invasion by Exotics (2010, methodology): “The restoration methods included (1) distributing seed over fallow fields and (2) planting established seedlings in combination with seeding a fallow field.”
Species richness and evenness respond in a different manner to propagule density in developing prairie microcosm communities (2007, unknown): “We further hypothesize that variation in richness may regulate diversity when seed availability and disperal are the factors regulating diversity (e.g., Tilman 1997; Altesor et al. 1998; Zobel et al. 2000; Martin et al. 2005) because richness is highly influenced by the number of individuals (Hayek ”
Assessing grassland restoration success: relative roles of seed additions and native ungulate activities (2006, methodology): “Diversity was quantified with Simpson’s diversity (1/ D ), where and p i = relative biomass of each species i , and was then decomposed into species richness ( S ) and evenness (1/ D / S ) to determine if each component of diversity differed (Buzas & Hayek 1996; Smith & Wilson 1996; Martin, Moloney”
Assembly history alters alpha and beta diversity, exotic–native proportions and functioning of restored prairie plant communities (2012, background): “Polley et al. (2006) found that earlyseason annuals regulated perennial plant composition and ecosystem functioning in grasslands.”
