A stress tolerant species, possessing light diaspores, they were typical of nitrogen poor and acidic habitats. Later, sciophylous and nitrophilous species of mesic habitats increased in importance. They have heavier diaspores, mostly phanerophytes or geophytes, often with the ability to vegetatively reproduce as well as higher demand for pH. Plant functional traits were recognized as powerful tools to predict the colonization success of plants available in the local species pool. They may help predict vegetation succession in various human-disturbed sites and thus be used in various restoration programmes.
