Nematode community and trophic structure along a sand dune succession (2002, background): “In contrast to the relatively stable nature of soil, sand dune systems are dynamic and are always in a state of successional change ( Foster and Tilman 2000 ).”
Rethinking Avian Response to Tamarix on the Lower Colorado River: A Threshold Hypothesis (2008, methodology): “The application of GNMDS to examine patterns of community composition has been used as an acceptable method for numerous animal (e.g., Dungey et al. 2000; Bailey & Whitham 2002) and plant (e.g., Foster & Tilman 2000) studies.”
Restoring grassland biodiversity: Sowing low-diversity seed mixtures can lead to rapid favourable changes (2010, background): “The competitive exclusion of poor competitor, short-lived annuals is one of the possible mechanisms, which can explain the decreasing richness and diversity (Foster and Tilman, 2000; Anderson, 2007).”
Pathways, mechanisms and predictability of vegetation change during tropical dry forest succession (2010, background): “Chronosequences allow to identify successional patterns and formulate causal hypotheses on its main driving forces (Foster and Tilman, 2000), but they do not inform on successional rates or mechanisms, a purpose for which long-term studies in permanent plots are required (Bakker et al.”
Recovery of Faunal Communities During Tropical Forest Regeneration (2004, methodology): “Though not experiments, chronosequences are often used as proxies for experimental data (e.g., Foster & Tilman 2000).”
Exotic plants establish persistent communities (2006, background): “The persistence of exotics and the replacement of later-successional species with earlier-successional species stand in contrast to a large body of work in old fields (Tilman 1985; Foster and Tilman 2000; Bonet and Pausas 2004), but persistent invasions by early successional species have been observ”
PATHWAYS IN OLD‐FIELD SUCCESSION TO WHITE PINE: SEED RAIN, SHADE, AND CLIMATE EFFECTS (2005, background): “…Julie Schleuder, and other Reich forest ecology group members for assistance with data collection and entry; Margaret Davis for use of the surveying station; Mike Tobin for help with setting up spatial regressions; Margaret Davis and Jacek Oleksyn for stimulating discussions and manuscript…”
