- Abstract
The article presents a study which analyzes the influence of landscape and local variables on the assembly of plant community in restored wetlands in the U.S. The study used the constrained ordination with variation partitioning to identify the effects of macroscale, mesoscale landscape and local factors. It shows that landscape and local scale variables influence the composition of plant species. It notes that wetland restoration needs landscape processes and species pools considerations.
