within agri‐environment schemes in the European Union. There is, however, little evidence …

Changing land use and the spread of ‘winning’ native or exotic plants are expected to lead
to biotic homogenization (BH), in which previously distinct plant communities become …

The stability of ecological communities is critical for the stable provisioning of ecosystem
services, such as food and forage production, carbon sequestration, and soil fertility. Greater …

Bracken (Pteridium) holds a pivotal role in succession, usually occurring in sequence between
plagio-climax communities such as heathland and woodland. It is at this interface that …

Question: How is vegetation succession on coal mine wastes under a Mediterranean
climate affected by the restoration method used (topsoil addition or not)? How are plant …

Aims Little is known about how soil parameters change during early stages of revegetation
dynamics on newly-restored coal mines, particularly in a Mediterranean climate. Our aim was …

Artificial environmental gradients were established in a series of pot experiments to investigate
the effect of salinity, sediment type and waterlogging on the growth, and interactions …

Succession comprises many ecological processes that underpin all ecological restoration
and ecological restoration is a manipulation of these processes to achieve its goals. This …
