• Life‐history traits are correlated with geographical distribution patterns of western European forest herb species (2007, methodology): “Nevertheless, our results are consistent with numerous studies examining seed dispersal and colonization ability of forest herbs at local scales in Europe (e.g. Brunet & Von Oheimb, 1998; Bossuyt & Hermy, 2000; Verheyen et al., 2003); however, that similar patterns should be apparent at the regional”
• Homogenization of forest plant communities and weakening of species–environment relationships via agricultural land use (2007, background): “Population-, community- and landscape-level patterns demonstrate that dispersal limitation strongly influences the species composition of recent forests ( Verheyen et al . 2003; Flinn & Vellend 2005), with strong dispersers (e.g.”
• The Ecological Significance of the Herbaceous Layer in Temperate Forest Ecosystems (2007, background): “In western North American forests, this is often the result of introduced herbivores (Vila et al. 2003).”
• Understory succession in post-agricultural oak forests: Habitat fragmentation affects forest specialists and generalists differently (2011, background): “…of proximate stands are likely influenced by a combination of several factors, including size and distance of source populations, seed production, seed size and morphology of the species considered, and dispersal vectors (Graae and Sunde, 2000; Verheyen et al., 2003; Kolb and Diekmann, 2005).”
• The relative importance of local, regional and historical factors determining the distribution of plants in fragmented riverine forests: an emergent group approach (2005, methodology): “The EG delineation closely adhered to the methodology applied by Verheyen et al. (2003), and was based on a”
• Assessing functional diversity in the field - methodology matters! (2007, background): “Diaz et al. 1999b), succession ( Dahlgren et al. 2006 ) and land use change (Verheyen et al. 2003).”
• Impact of abundance weighting on the response of seed traits to climate and land use (2008, background): “Anemochory was unrelated to the presence of woodland (Expectation 11); it was possible that the scrub and woodland communities surveyed were of too recent development to have fully acquired a ground flora characteristic of established woodland (Graae & Sunde 2000; Verheyen et al. 2003).”
• PARALLEL EFFECTS OF LAND‐USE HISTORY ON SPECIES DIVERSITY AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF FOREST HERBS (2004, background): “Forest herbs represent the majority of plant species diversity in temperate deciduous forests (Whigham 2004), and due to their generally poor colonization ability, forest herbs may be particularly sensitive to land-use history (Honnay et al. 2002, Vellend 2003a, 2004, Verheyen et al. 2003).”
• Driving factors behind the eutrophication signal in understorey plant communities of deciduous temperate forests (2012, background): “These oppos- ing trends in resource availability together with the longevity of forest understorey species and their often slow colonization rates (Verheyen et al. 2003; De Frenne et al. 2011) may help to explain the apparent resistance of forest understorey plant communities to species losses as a…”
• Multi‐taxon and forest structure sampling for identification of indicators and monitoring of old‐growth forest (2010, background): “characterizes old-growth forests; such species include Veronica montana, which is among the 20 species with the lowest Colonization Capacity Index as determined by the functional traits (Verheyen et al. 2003) and Allium ursinum, Brachypodium sylvaticum and Primula vulgaris, which have been described”
• Effect of habitat area and isolation on plant trait distribution in European forests and grasslands (2012, background): “Instead, changes in abundance and extinction risk in local plant populations may be related to species specifi c life-history strategies (Verheyen et al. 2003, Kolb and Diekmann 2004, Herault and Honnay 2005, Lososov á et al. 2008).”
