Contrasting changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity during a long‐term succession: insights into assembly processes (2013, background): “…the number of species, significant increases in functional and phylogenetic diversity reveal that closely related and/or functionally similar species are replaced by functionally and phylogenetically more distinct species between the late-mid and late-successional stages (R€omermann et al. 2009).”
Functional traits and local environment predict vegetation responses to disturbance: a pan‐European multi‐site experiment (2011, background): “Consequently, the disturbance regime (intensity, frequency and quantity) plays an important role in the community assembly and development of ecosystems (Turner et al. 1998; Römermann et al. 2009).”
Landscape heterogeneity as an ecological filter of species traits (2014, unknown): “This ratio was 179 consistent with Romermann et al. (2009), who retained at least 80% of the species pool.”
