• What ' s on the horizon for macroecology? (2012, background): “Additionally, more recent historical events such as anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems may heavily distort patterns observed in recent data (Kelt and Meyer 2009, see also Hermy and Verheyen 2007).”
• Low recruitment across life stages partly accounts for the slow colonization of forest herbs (2009, background): “Numerous studies on both continents found that forest herb diversity in these post-agricultural forests remains impoverished for decades to centuries because many forest herbs have a low colonization capacity (reviewed in Flinn & Vellend 2005; Hermy & Verheyen 2007 ).”
• Geographical genetics and the conservation of forest trees (2009, background): “, 2008) and is there an influence of past land-use on tree genetic diversity as is manifest for plant species richness (Hermy and Verheyen, 2007) and snag density (Wisdom and Bate, 2008)? Can the genetic diversity of trees be predicted from sets of environmental variables (e.”
• Understory succession in post-agricultural oak forests: Habitat fragmentation affects forest specialists and generalists differently (2011, background): “These traits suggest a low dispersal capacity in space and time, making the majority of forest herbs sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation (Hermy and Verheyen, 2007).”
• Assessing the Ecological Impacts of Bioenergy Projects (2008, background): “landscapes, habitat quality is often a function of the history of land management, with the most biodiverse habitats being those that have had continuity of less intensive practices [35].”
• Why history matters in ecology: an interdisciplinary perspective (2010, background): “For example, past land-use influences soil conditions and vegetation composition through long time spans (Sandor et al. 1990; Verheyen et al. 1999; Hermy & Verheyen 2007), extending as far back as the Roman Period (1st–4th centuries AD) in several French woods (Dupouey et al. 2002; Dambrine et al.…”
