Abstract Species composition is a vital attribute of any ecosystem. Accordingly, ecological restoration often has the original, or “natural,” species as its target. However, we still lack adequate methods for predicting expected time to compositional recovery in studies. We describe and explore new, ordination regression‐based approach (ORBA) that allows both linear asymptotic (logarithmic) relationships change with time. The uses distances between restored plots reference along successional...
Abstract Restoration of degraded ecosystems may take decades or even centuries. Accordingly, information about the current direction and speed recovery provided by methods for predicting time to give important feedback restoration schemes. While predictions have so far been based mostly upon change in species richness other univariate predictors, novel ordination‐regression approach (ORBA) affords a multivariate compositional change. We used composition data from four alpine spoil heaps...
Pollination is an ecosystem function of global importance. Yet, who visits the flower specific plants, how composition these visitors varies in space and time such variation translates into pollination services are hard to establish. The use DNA barcodes allows us address ecological patterns involving thousands taxa that difficult identify. To clarify regional visitor community a widespread resource, we compared arthropod visiting species genus Dryas (mountain avens, family Rosaceae),...
Many ecosystems are defined and shaped by one or a few common, foundation species. Even though such species hold key role in the restoration of these ecosystems, demographic processes involved their re-establishment have rarely been studied. Foundation species' population dynamics, history, abiotic biotic factors that affect individual establishment at restored sites can be studied addressing spatial patterns age structure. Such an approach to studying dynamics is particularly relevant for...
Functional traits are linked to ecosystem processes and services therefore relevant in recovery assessment. However, of bryophytes lichens, important components many ecosystems, have received less attention than those vascular plants. We explored the use functional multiple organism groups combined data on species composition for plants, bryophytes, lichens from four alpine spoil heaps their undisturbed surroundings western Norway, collected at three time‐points spanning more two decades....
