  abstract: This volume provides an overview of recent advances in the ecology of various kinds of non-forested ecosystems (grasslands, deserts, and wetlands) on a variety of topics, including species diversity and the factors that control species diversity, impacts of disturbances (grazing, mowing, fire, flooding), establishment and reproduction ecology, and plant-plant interactions. Previously published in Plant Ecology, Volume 201, No.2, 2009.
  table of contents: Plant species richness and diversity of the serpentine areas on the Witwatersrand -- Temporal changes in species diversity and composition in abandoned fields in a trans-Himalayan landscape, Nepal -- Role of desert annuals in nutrient flow in arid area of Northwestern China: a nutrient reservoir and provider -- The effects of fire frequency and grazing on tallgrass prairie productivity and plant composition are mediated through bud bank demography -- Do plant functional types based on leaf dry matter content allow characterizing native grass species and grasslands for herbage growth pattern? -- Clonal growth strategies in simultaneously persistent and expanding Trifolium repens patches -- California native and exotic perennial grasses differ in their response to soil nitrogen, exotic annual grass density, and order of emergence -- Do seed and microsite limitation interact with seed size in determining invasion patterns in flooding Pampa grasslands? -- Feral horses dung piles as potential invasion windows for alien plant species in natural grasslands -- Reproductive allocation of Carex flava reacts differently to competition and resources in a designed plant mixture of five species -- Factors affecting the establishment and growth of annual legumes in semi-arid mediterranean grasslands -- Are irrigation and grazing effects transferred, accumulated, or counteracted during plant recruitment? -- Extent and spatial patterns of grass bald land cover change (1948–2000), Oregon Coast Range, USA -- Grass (Poaceae) richness patterns across China’s nature reserves -- Interacting effects of grass height and herbivores on the establishment of an encroaching savanna shrub -- Effects of competition on root–shoot allocation in Plantago lanceolata L.: adaptive plasticity or ontogenetic drift? -- Rock-colonizing plants: abundance of the endemic cactus Mammillaria fraileana related to rock type in the southern Sonoran Desert -- Ecophysiological responses of nine floodplain meadow spec…
