New Multicentury Evidence for Dispersal Limitation during Primary Succession. Makoto, K. & Wilson, S. D. The American Naturalist, 187(6):804–811, March, 2016. ![New Multicentury Evidence for Dispersal Limitation during Primary Succession [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Primary succession is limited by both ecosystem development and plant dispersal, but the extent to which dispersal constrains succession over the long-term is unknown. We compared primary succession along two co-occurring arctic chronosequences with contrasting spatial scales: sorted circles that span a few meters and may have few dispersal constraints and glacial forelands that span several kilometers and may have greater dispersal constraints. Dispersal constraints slowed primary succession by centuries: plots were dominated by cryptogams after 20 years on circles but after 270 years on forelands; plots supported deciduous plants after 100 years on circles but after \textgreater400 years on forelands. Our study provides century-scale evidence suggesting that dispersal limitations constrain the rate of primary succession in glacial forelands.
