Dispersal and establishment filters influence the assembly of restored prairie plant communities (2015, background): “…are also likely to influence plant establishment, including site conditions (Hulvey & Aigner 2014), weather conditions in the year of sowing (Vaughn & Young 2010), a lack of an appropriate disturbance regime (Brudvig et al. 2007), suppression by dominant competitors (Dickson & Busby 2009),…”
Priority effects and ecological restoration (2020, background): “Thus, very similar restoration approaches may produce very different outcomes depending on the year restoration was initiated (see Vaughn & Young 2010; Werner et al. 2020).”
Local soil, but not commercial AMF inoculum, increases native and non‐native grass growth at a mine restoration site (2016, background): “Temporal variability is known to affect the outcomes of ecological experiments, particularly restoration experiments (Vaughn & Young 2010), and results of this study demonstrate that interannual variation affected plant responses to soil inoculation treatments.”
