The Ecohydrology of a pioneer wetland species and a drastically altered landscape
Ecohydrology, 2011ABSTRACTVegetation plays a central role in forming and maintaining an ecosystem's physical conditions, which in turn strongly influence vegetation function. These bidirectional feedbacks may be particularly evident during an ecosystem succession following large‐scale disturbances.

The role of spontaneous selfing in the pioneer species Saxifraga aizoides
Flora - Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2007A large variety of reproductive patterns is present among alpine plants to ensure the persistence of populations in such harsh environments. In the present study, the role of spontaneous selfing and its contribution to the actual reproductive success of an alpine pioneer plant was investigated. The results showed that Saxifraga aizoides is clearly self-

Effects of Pioneer Tree Species Hyperabundance on Forest Fragments in Northeastern Brazil
Conservation Biology, 2010Abstract: Despite many studies on fragmentation of tropical forests, the extent to which plant and animal communities are altered in small, isolated forest fragments remains obscure if not controversial.

THE MYCORRHIZAE OF PIONEER SPECIES IN DISTURBED ECOSYSTEMS IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
American Journal of Botany, 1984Study plots with ten types of disturbances were established in a Solidago‐Aster community in western Pennsylvania. One year after disturbance, 93% of all species had vesicular‐arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) and accounted for 92% of all plant cover. After 3 yr, 96% of the species had VAM and 96%

Leaf Survival in Relation to Herbivory in Two Tropical Pioneer Species
Oikos, 1989Survival, longevity, and herbivory patterns of two leaf cohorts of two pioneer tree species, Cecropia obtusifolia and Heliocarpus appendiculatus, growing as seedlings in natural canopy gaps, were studied in the rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico. The leaf cohorts of C.

Tolerance of six Namaqualand pioneer species to saline soil conditions
South African Journal of Plant and Soil, 1997Saline soils pose a great problem to reclamation of mined areas in arid regions. Experiments were carried out in order to determine the tolerance of six Namaqualand pioneer species to varying levels of salinity. Both perennial and ephemeral species were used and results of all species showed that increased salinity induced a significant decrease in ...

[Plant biomorphology and seed germination of pioneer species of the Kamchatka volcanoes].
Izvestiia Akademii nauk. Seriia biologicheskaia, 2009Biomorphology, quantitative characters and seed germination of 17 pioneer plant species friable materials of volcanic eruptions (Kamchatka Peninsula) were studied. Adaptive trends in survival stress conditions are discussed. To evaluate a possibility of the cryogenic seed storage, their response to ultra low temperatures (-196 degrees C) was determine.
