Measuring plant dispersal: an introduction to field methods and experimental design (2006, background): “Knowledge of dispersal is essential for predicting the ability of species to track climate change (Watkinson and Gill 2002), range expansion of non-native species (Higgins et al. 2001), or re-colonisation by endangered species (Coulson et al. 2001).”
Dispersal, demography and spatial population models for conservation and control management (2008, background): “Coulson et al. (2001) and Bullock et al. (2003) investigated which management practices promote dispersal and spread of the hemi-parasitic summer-annual R. minor after initial sowing.”
Effect of Hay Transfer on Long‐Term Establishment of Vegetation and Grasshoppers on Former Arable Fields (2006, background): “Within restoration fields, single individuals of target plant species have already spread due to the joint management by mowing or grazing (Coulson et al. 2001) from hay-transfer sites onto sites without hay, but their cover was still very low in 2001 because they had to compete with dominant…”
Long‐term change in vegetation and soil microbial communities during the phased restoration of traditional meadow grassland (2008, background): “8 Whilst the wind blown seed of Rhinanthus minor was expected to disperse between plots 9 (Coulson et al. 2001) other species had demonstrated considerable fide ity to the sown 10 treatment in phase 1.”
Rhinanthus minor L. (2004, background): “Hay cutting has also been shown to be more effective in dispersing seeds of R. minor than sheep grazing (Coulson et al. 2001; Bullock et al. 2003).”
Hay strewing, brush harvesting of seed and soil disturbance as tools for the enhancement of botanical diversity in grasslands (2007, background): “However, even when such conditions are met, colonisation has been found to be poor (Hutchings and Booth, 1996; Coulson et al., 2001).”
Lucerne‐dominated fields recover native grass diversity without intensive management actions (2011, background): “…spatial dispersal (e.g. missing dispersal agents and heavy seeds) reduces the movement of seeds into target sites (Simmering, Waldhardt & Otte 2006); (ii) long-term agricultural use often depletes the local seed bank, and also increases the amount of weed seeds in the soil (Coulson et al. 2001).”
The identification of 100 ecological questions of high policy relevance in the UK (2006, background): “Once locally extinct, the same species have often failed to recolonize even if habitat condition is restored (Coulson et al. 2001), especially when reserves are surrounded by heavily modified agricultural landscapes.”
Enhancing diversity of species-poor grasslands: an experimental assessment of multiple constraints (2006, background): “However, slot-seeding can be highly effective if combined with application of a broad-spectrum herbicide to the slot to reduce competition further (Coulson et al. 2001).”
