Inhaltsangabe

1. Introduction and background
2. Plant strategies and successional change: a resource-response perspective
3. Community composition and trends of dominance and diversity in recovering ecosystems
4. The environment of successional plants: disentangling causes and consequences
5. Recruitment in successional habitats: general trends and specific differences
