Nurse plants, tree saplings and grazing pressure: decreasing facilitation along a biotic environmental gradient

Charlotte Vandenberghe

Current conceptual models predict that an increase in stress shifts interactions between plants from competitive to facilitative; hence, facilitation is expected to gain in ecological importance with increasing stress. Little is known about how facilitativ ...

The influence of cattle activity on tree regeneration in wood-pastures

Charlotte Vandenberghe

Wood-pastures are semi-natural, highly biodiverse systems maintained by traditional extensive agriculture. They are used for grazing and timber. The shifting mosaics of grassland, shrub thickets and woodland patches in these systems are driven by large her ...
