TL;DR: An analysis of global forest cover is conducted to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation, indicating an urgent need for conservation and restoration measures to improve landscape connectivity.

Journal ArticleDOI
Species richness in a successional grassland: effects of nitrogen enrichment and plant litter
TL;DR: The results indicate that litter and living biomass are largely substitutable in their inhibitory effects on species richness in highly productive successional grasslands due to their independent and equivalent capacities to attenuate light to very low levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic and static views of succession: Testing the descriptive power of the chronosequence approach
Bryan L. Foster,David Tilman +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that measures of compositional dissimilarity, species turnover, and the change rates of perennial and native species cover over this 14-year period were all negatively correlated with field age, indicating that the rate of successional change in these old-fields generally declines over time.

TL;DR: In this paper, by using data from coordinated surveys conducted throughout grasslands worldwide and comprising a wide range of site productivities, the authors provide evidence in support of the humped-back model (HBM) pattern at both global and regional extents.
