Driving factors behind the eutrophication signal in understorey plant communities of deciduous temperate forests (2012, background): “It should be noted that the Ellenberg N values indicate more than N availability alone and reflect general nutrient availability (Schaffers & Sýkora 2000; Diekmann 2003; Ellenberg & Leuschner 2010).”
Is the spatial distribution of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) limited by its potential height growth? (2008, methodology): “Using the EcoPlant indicator values, these three nutritional variables were estimated for each IFN plot by calculating the mean IVs of the species present in the plot, without taking into account their abundance in the plots (Hill & Carey, 1997; Schaffers & Sykora, 2000).”
Effects of disturbance frequency and severity on plant traits: An assessment across a temperate flora (2018, background): “This value is a good indicator of availability of nutrients (including phosphorus) and is strongly positively correlated with mean stand biomass where the species occurs (Hill & Carey, 1997; Schaffers & Sýkora, 2000; Wagner et al., 2007).”
Clonal growth and sexual reproduction: tradeoffs and environmental constraints (2015, methodology): “Whereas moisture values are known to correlate rather well with average soil water content, nutrient values are primarily approximations of overall site productivity (Schaff ers and S ý kora 2000).”
Ecological correlates of seed survival after ingestion by Fallow Deer (2005, background): “Although these estimates are derived from the distribution of species in Central Europe, they are shown to be valid in a larger area including the Netherlands and the British Isles (Thompson et al. 1993b, Schaffers & Sykora 2000).”
Dispersal traits determine plant response to habitat connectivity in an urban landscape (2011, background): “Instead we calculated average Ellenberg values which often show a close correlation with corresponding measurements of environmental variables (Schaffers and Sykora 2000) and have proven suitable to assess local environmental habitat conditions (Ozinga et al.”
Dispersal potential in plant communities depends on environmental conditions (2004, background): “Thompson et al . 1993; Schaffers & Sykora 2000; Diekmann 2003).”
Which results of the standard test for community‐weighted mean approach are too optimistic? (2018, background): “These estimates are often related to measured soil, light or climatic variables (Ellenberg et al., 1992; Schaffers & Sýkora, 2000), or used for the ecological interpretation of compositional changes in unconstrained ordination (Persson, 1981) or ecological differences between groups of samples…”
