Non-Equilibrium Coexistence of Plants
Abstract
PICKETT, S. T. A. (Botany Dept., Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, NJ 08903). Nonequilibrium coexistence in plants. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 107: 238-248. 1980.-Equilibrium plant communities are established by uninterrupted successions over several centuries. However, these equilibrium communities are often relatively poorer in species than some non-equilibrium community that preceded them. This, coupled with the paucity of confirmed within-community niche differentiation, suggests that factors preventing the establishment of a competitive equilibrium are critical to the coexistence of plants. Disturbance occurs frequently enough in many systems to destroy or disadvantage the competitive dominants of late successional communities and so allow the coexistence of species with many degrees of competitive ability. Without disturbance the persistence of certain species is threatened. The concept of patch dynamics is used to generalize and emphasize non-equilibrium coexistence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
