Abandonment of agricultural land: an overview of drivers and consequences (2007, background): “productivity such as the Mediterranean and other dry regions of the world [92].”
The response of plant diversity to ecosystem retrogression: evidence from contrasting long‐term chronosequences (2008, background): “However, as succession proceeds over the long-term, the response of plant diversity is less well understood (Grime 2001) and a variety of patterns have been found ( Bonet and Pausas 2004, Jones and del Moral 2005, Howarth and Pendry 2006).”
The role of the perch effect on the nucleation process in Mediterranean semi-arid oldfields (2006, methodology): “In fact, it has been recognised that after tree crop abandonment in Mediterranean landscapes, vegetation does not follow the traditional path from “early-successional” species to “late-successional” species; rather, the so-called “late-successional” species may appear early after abandonment (Ne’ema”
Exotic plants establish persistent communities (2006, background): “This ‘early successional’ model of exotic success would predict that exotics demonstrate early successional traits (Rejmanek 1996), and that these species could be expected to decline as late-successional species outcompete early successional species (Bonet and Pausas 2004).”
Burning seeds: germinative response to heat treatments in relation to resprouting ability (2008, background): “In the Mediterranean Basin, annuals are not necessarily linked to burned sites and tend to colonize sites recently affected by any types of disturbance (Bonet & Pausas 2004; Buhk & Hensen 2006).”
Rethinking species selection for restoration of arid shrublands (2009, background): “The pace of colonization processes and secondary succession in 78 Mediterranean arid environments is rather slow (Bonet & Pausas 2004; Pugnaire, 79 Luque, Armas & Gutiérrez 2006), so we believe that introducing mid-successional, 80 rather than late-successional species, may be more desirable for…”
Drivers of cropland abandonment in mountainous areas: A household decision model on farming scale in Southwest China (2016, unknown): “Documented positive consequences include the passive re-growth of native vegetation and forest plantations (Bonet and Pausas, 2004), water retention (Sileika et al., 2006), soil recovery, improved nutrient cycling and an increase in biodiversity (Benayas et al., 2007; Dunn, 2004).”
