Spatiotemporal dynamics of plant diversity and endemism during primary succession on an oceanic‐volcanic island

Questions How does the diversity of native, endemic and alien plant species, as well as the diversity of plant life forms, change during primary succession on lava flows of an oceanic‐volcanic island? How do environmental factors such as moisture and soil properties alter diversity during primary succession? Location La Palma, Canary Islands. Methods We recorded vascular plants and bryophytes in 210 plots on a chronosequence of nine lava flows...
