Planned Special Feature of JVS: Dispersal and establishment as drivers of vegetation dynamics and resilience
Guest editors: Péter Török, James Bullock, Borja Jiménez-Alfaro, Judit Sonkoly
Background
Plant regeneration plays a decisive role in vegetation dynamics by underpinning local and landscape-scale processes, biodiversity patterns, and community resilience to abiotic and anthropogenic disturbances. As establishment and recruitment depend greatly on spatial plant dispersal and the local propagule bank, studying their contributions to these processes is crucial.…
