Historical legacies accumulate to shape future biodiversity in an era of rapid global change (2015, background): “One of the few studies addressing genetic diversity is the work by Helm et al. (2009), who found evidence that changes in European land use over the past century have affected the genetic diversity of a grassland plant species (Briza media).”
Restoration of plant species and genetic diversity depends on landscape‐scale dispersal (2018, background): “Nevertheless, similarly to the dynamics of species richness, time lags may be present in the response of genetic patterns to the change of habitat conditions and landscape connectivity (Helm et al. 2009; Vranckx et al. 2012; Münzbergová et al. 2013; Plue et al. 2017).”
Which plant traits predict species loss in calcareous grasslands with extinction debt? (2012, background): “Extinctions have been shown to be delayed for various groups of organisms in communities that have undergone recent habitat loss and fragmentation (Lindborg & Eriksson, 2004; Piessens & Hermy, 2006; Vellend et al., 2006; Sammul et al., 2008; Helm et al., 2009; Krauss et al., 2010; Piqueray et al., 2”
