Plant traits as predictors of performance in ecological restoration (2003, background): “In restorations seed addition is often used to overcome dispersal limitation (Pywell et al. 2002), and this has allowed us an unbiased understanding of the mechanisms determining variation in the establishment, persistence and size of populations among the introduced species.”
Safe sites for tree regeneration in wooded pastures: A case of associational resistance? (2005, background): “tural management, leading to local intensification and abandonment elsewhere (Gillet & Gallandat 1996; Pywell et al. 2002).”
Hay strewing, brush harvesting of seed and soil disturbance as tools for the enhancement of botanical diversity in grasslands (2007, background): “In addition, a major constraint on the enhancement of botanical diversity . of many sites is the paucity of sources of propagules in the surrounding landscape (Mortimer et al., 1998; Pywell et al., 2002).”
Assessing grassland restoration success: relative roles of seed additions and native ungulate activities (2006, background): “Seedling emergence was limited by seed availability in these tallgrass prairie restorations, which suggests that restorations are similar to many old fields in their lack of propagule availability (Tilman 1997; Zobel et al. 2000; Pywell et al. 2002).”
The effects of grassland management and aspect on Orthoptera diversity and abundance: site conditions are as important as management (2013, background): “Nowadays, oligotrophic grasslands represent local hotspots of biodiversity in Central and Northern Europe (Muller et al. 1998; Pywell et al. 2002; Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 2002).”
Restoring grassland biodiversity: Sowing low-diversity seed mixtures can lead to rapid favourable changes (2010, methodology): “Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Biological Conservation journal homepage: www.elsevier .com/locate /b iocon of species characteristic to the target communities (Pywell et al., 2002; Lepš et al., 2007).”
Long‐term enhancement of agricultural production by restoration of biodiversity (2006, background): “However, seed limitation plays an important role in determining the plant community that develops (Hutchings & Booth 1996; Pywell et al. 2002).”
Lucerne‐dominated fields recover native grass diversity without intensive management actions (2011, background): “It has been suggested that the rapid development of weed cover can be avoided by sowing mixtures of seeds of characteristic late successional species (Prach & Pyšek 2001; Pywell et al. 2002; Warren, Christal & Wilson 2002) or cover crop grasses (Hansson & Fogelfors 1998).”
Soil modification by invasive plants: effects on native and invasive species of mixed-grass prairies (2008, background): “3 Seedling biomass of invasive and native species in response to soil conditioning (C) and inoculum (S) treatments; soils were collected at Theodore Roosevelt National Park and conditioned by Euphorbia or native species.”
Endozoochorous seed dispersal by cattle and horse in a spatially heterogeneous landscape (2005, background): “Seed dispersal then becomes a serious bottle-neck in restoration management (Verhagen et al. 2001; Pywell et al. 2002).”
An assessment of grassland restoration success using species diversity components (2005, background): “Pywell et al. (2002) did not detect a positive influence of a cover crop on diversity, although it significantly reduced the number of unsown grass species after the first year.”
Dispersal and establishment filters influence the assembly of restored prairie plant communities (2015, background): “Dispersal limitation is common across taxa and systems (Myers & Harms 2009) and frequently limits restorations (Pywell et al. 2002; Martin & Wilsey 2006; Foster et al. 2007).”
