High‐speed colonization of bare ground—Permanent plot studies on primary succession of plants in recently deglaciated glacier forelands

Glacier forelands are highly suitable environments to study vegetation dynamics. Due to time constraints, the method of ‘space for time substitution’ is commonly employed, using spatially different sites to reconstruct a temporal sequence. However, migration patterns, growth performance, shifts in f...
