Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Cover of vascular plants recovered slowly after disturbance.
- Intervention effect Cover of bryophytes and lichens recovered even more slowly after disturbance than vascular plant cover.
- Intervention effect The least severe treatments were followed by the fastest recovery in Picea abies forest.
- Intervention effect The mean number of vascular plant species was higher three years after disturbance than before.
- Intervention effect The number of bryophyte species showed the opposite pattern, lower three years after disturbance than before.
- Mechanism Vaccinium myrtillus recovered after disturbance primarily by resprouting from intact rhizomes.
- Mechanism Germination from the soil propagule bank was an important recovery mechanism for Luzula pilosa.
- Mechanism Microsite limitation may prevent Gymnocarpium dryopteris from appearing in disturbed patches.
- Association Disturbance severity influenced revegetation patterns.
- Association The length of the successional path increased with increasing disturbance severity.
- Association The length of the successional path was also influenced by the area of the disturbed patch and the distance to intact vegetation.
- Observation The rate of succession decreased year by year in floristic space.
- Observation The rate of succession first decreased and then increased in ordination space.
