1.集合种群和集合群落理论在生态学中占据核心地位，但很难应用于植物。挑战包括种子传播是否足以实现种群连通性，种子库的作用以及研究长寿和克隆植物的殖民化和灭绝问题。此外，人口往往不占据离散的栖息地补丁。尽管存在这些困难，我们提出的案例研究，以说明明确的空间和时间数据在植物生态学的整合。
1. Metapopulation and metacommunity theories occupy a central role in ecology, but can be difficult to apply to plants. Challenges include whether seed dispersal is sufficient for population connectivity, the role of seed banks and problems with studying colonization and extinction in long-lived and clonal plants. Further, populations often do not occupy discrete habitat patches. Despite these difficulties, we present case studies to illustrate explicit integration of spatial and temporal data in plant ecology.
