Lepš, J., Goldberg, D.E., Herben, T. & Palmer, M. — Mechanistic explanations of community structure: Introduction Stampfli, A. & Zeiter, M. — Plant species decline due to abandonment of meadows cannot easily be reversed by mowing. A case study from the southern Alps Brewer, S.W. & Rejmánek, M. — Small rodents as significant dispersers of tree seeds in a Neotropical forest Kotorová, I. & Lepš, J. — Comparative ecology of seedling recruitment in an oligotrophic wet meadow Braakhekke, W.G. & Hooftman, D.A.P. — The resource balance hypothesis of plant species diversity in grassland Lejeune, O. & Tlidi, M. — A model for the explanation of vegetation stripes (tiger bush) Klimeš, L. — Small-scale plant mobility in a species-rich grassland Lepš, J. — Nutrient status, disturbance and competition: an experimental test of relationships in a wet meadow Based on contributions presented at the session ‘Experimental tests of mechanistic hypotheses of community patterns’ at the 40th IAVS Symposium held in České Budějovice, 18 – 23 August, 1997.
