This work was made to study the influence of different factors as density (high and low), spatial patterns of distribution (clumped and random) and species composition on survival and growth rates, intensity of competition and finally on the biomass production, under controlled experimental conditions. Two annual plants species from the...
Dispersal is a main component if plant populations and community invasiveness. Feasibility of propagles to reach safe sites for establishment depends on dispersal. Besides, it allows species persistence in low-density patches, habitat recolonization, and it promotes genetic and species diversity in metacommunities. In this dissertation I present species and local...
