Species Occurrence in Successional Series as Field-Based Indicators of Their Disturbance Niche

Original language description

In the traditional view, the niche of plant species is mainly determined by climatic and edaphic factors. However, this view loses sight of the fact that plant species must be successful in a landscape which comprises a set of habitats of different successional ages and disturbance regimes. Quantitative circumscription of the species disturbance niche has been based either on expert assessment or on data from successional series. Here, we determine to what extent these measures are correlated and linked to species traits expected to be associated with disturbance niche.Location The Czech Republic. The results show that the species disturbance niche is defined by two key species-specific parameters, namely the frequency of disturbance and its severity, and the colonization ability. Each of these is associated with different functional traits of the species. While frequency and severity are mainly related to species lifespan (annuals vs. perennials), and clonal growth type, colonization ability is mainly related to anemochory, seed bank duration, and plant height. The expert assessment of species disturbance niche and species participation in the successional series are well correlated and their combination provides fuller circumscription of species position along disturbance gradients in the field. While successional series provide reasonable hard data on species response to severe disturbance, we still lack similar quality data on species response to mild and frequent disturbance.
