Plant Community Development of Isle Royale's Moose-Spruce Savannas
… Ordination techniques were used to describe plant communities and to identify environmental variables that influence vegetation development. Non-parametric multiplicative regression was used to predict how these variables influenced individual plants and structure within the communities. …

Restoration Progress and Plant Community Development in Compensatory Mitigation Wetlands
… policy and an ecological perspective and linked plant community dynamics to broader ecological contexts. Stated goals for these wetlands largely focused on vegetation. Compliance with site-specific performance criteria varied depending on site goals; sites often failed to comply with criteria …

Initial Revegetation Of Small But Severely Disturbed Areas In The Oak-Hickory Forest Of Southwest Missouri
… observed in order to study the initial stages of plant community development in an Oak-Hickory forest. The soil was disarranged to a ten centimeter depth, destroying roots and above ground vegetation. The areas differed primarily in one year increments since disturbance, through five years. …

Restoring semi-arid lands with superabsorbent polymers under reduced precipitation and threat of Bromus tectorum invasion
… and promote establishment of a native plant community that is resilient to disturbance and resistant to invasion of B. tectorum. With their ability to absorb moisture when it is abundant and slowly release it over time, superabsorbent polymers (SAP) may increase overall soil moisture …
