Annotation	We designed a 5-year container experiment in which plant succession started from scratch. Soil conditions were constant and all containers were filled with homogeneous substrate containing no propagules.We placed the containers in two contrasting habitats under identical climatic conditions but differing in surrounding vegetations and hence seed input.New containers were installed in two subsequent years, twice in each year.Although both year and season of succession initiation considerably affected the initial species composition, we observed a pronounced convergence within the set of containers located in each habitat.However, the similarity of containers initiated at the same time but located in different habitats decreased over the course of succession.Final composition of the meadow and floodplain containers was therefore mostly determined by permanent seed input from their nearby neighborhood.
