Vegetation changes during succession can be regarded as plant-to-plant replacement processes. For deeper insight into the nature of these process we need to investigate the mechanisms involved. Therefore two experiments with herbaceous plant communities were analyzed. The data confirm the view that
Questions of successional pattern and causality have been central concerns in vegetation ecology. In this paper we address the limits of the overextended models of Connell and Slatyer by discussing problems encountered in field tests. To help prevent such problems, we define the essential concepts n
