Changing contributions of stochastic and deterministic processes in community assembly over a successional gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Successional dynamics in plant community assembly may result from both deterministic and stochastic ecological processes. The relative importance of different ecological processes is expected to vary over the successional ... -
Pattern and process in Norwegian upland grasslands: a functional analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)Four classes of functional and morphological plant traits (FMT) – established strategies (the CSR scheme sensu Grime 1979), life-forms (sensu Raunkiaer 1934), morphology, and regenerative strategies – are used as tools for ... -
Pattern and process in Norwegian upland grasslands: an integrated ecological approach.
(Doctoral thesis, 2002-06-04)In this thesis I examine community patterns and the effects of disturbances on these patterns within successional subalpine grasslands at summer farms in Norway. On a broad scale, I investigate how environment, land-use ... -
Sources of Diversity in a Grassland Metacommunity: Quantifying the Contribution of Dispersal to Species Richness
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006)Metacommunity theory suggests a potentially important role for dispersal in diversity maintenance at local, as well as regional, scales. In addition, propagule addition experiments have shown that dispersal often limits ... -
Treeline and vegetation dynamics in response to environmental changes in Nepal, the central Himalaya
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-05-31)Aims: To describe and evaluate patterns of vegetation response to ongoing environmental changes across climate-limited (alpine treeline ecotone) and humanmodified (temperate Himalayan oak forests) ecosystems in Nepal, ... -
Unfenced Borders Cause Differences in Vegetation and Fauna Between Protected and Unprotected Areas in a Tropical Savanna
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-04)Protected areas generally occur within a matrix of intensively human-modified landscapes. As a way to maintain the biodiversity in these areas, enclosure by fencing is often preferred. This strategy, however, is costly and ...
