Critically endangered plant species of the Czech Republic: Can we distinguish them from other plants using their biological and ecological traits?
2011
Abstract
Understanding the factors responsible for species rarity is crucial for species effective conservation. One possible approach to obtain information about causes of species rarity is to compare rare and common species.
The results of all three types of comparison suggest that critically endangered species of the Czech Republic are small and competitively inferior species with some differences in the generative part of their life cycle that occur mainly in open unproductive habitats
