Each will be followed by an example of its direct incorporation into a landscape plan, planting protocol or management procedure. The plant traits described will include habitat fidelity, growth pattern, spatial and temporal niche, and proliferation strategies. The patterns and processes explored will include disturbance, succession, competition, and relative ecological stability.
