Processes of vegetation change
1979Clements [2] recognized the following subprocesses of succession: (1) initiation, (2) immigration of new species, (3) establishment (or ecesis), (4) competition, (5) site modification (or reaction), (6) stabilization at the ‘climax’. With the probable exception of stabilization, and a considerable reduction in emphasis of the role of site modification,

Vegetation changes the trajectory of river bends
ScienceA primary axiom in geoscience is that the evolution of plants drove global changes in river dynamics. Notably, the apparent sinuosity of rivers, derived from the variance of sediment accretion direction measured in rocks, substantially increased when land plants evolved, around 425 million years ago.

The Fundamentals of Vegetation Change - Complexity Rules
Acta Biotheoretica, 2000Long-term vegetation dynamics based on paleo-pollen data display transient behaviour, often alternating in phase between predominant determinism and predominant 'turbulence', when viewed as a trajectory in a multivariate phase space. Given this, the metaphor of vegetation dynamics as a 'flowing stream', first introduced by Cooper in his classic 1926 ...

Dynamism in Vegetation. Vegetation Changes on a Short Time Scale
2017The study of dynamic processes is one of the main issues in vegetation ecology. This chapter is an attempt to summarize the basic concepts to be applied when studying the dynamics of vegetation. As succession is the central process in vegetation dynamics, some relevant theories and models are explained, especially those concerning inhibition ...

Patterns of vegetation change in wetlands
1990Wetland is a general term for any site where water is the substrate or the dominating influence on plant growth, or both. The water may be above, at, or just below the ground surface and is present continuously or frequently (Fig. 8.1). The plants may be rooted in the ground (consisting of mineral soil or organic sediment) or they may be floating.
