Over the past few decades, several conceptual and mathematical models of plant community organization and dynamics have been
put forward. While each of these models has attempted to explain important plant community patterns by attributing them to
some aspect of plant niches, or to a higher-level process, their predictive success has been very limited. Here I explore
why this has happened by reviewing and summarizing each model individually by highlighting the plant community pattern each
is trying to explain and predict, by identifying the mechanisms, tolerances, and/or processes authors propose are producing
those patterns and describing how they work within the model, and by examining the assumptions of each model. I then discuss
common misconceptions and shortcomings among the models, and finally propose a unifying synthesis and comprehensive framework
that can serve as a basis for future plant community modeling and research. This synthesis is composed of three key ideas
(1) that plant-plant replacements are the “fundamental process” of plant communities which produce every community-level terrestrial
plant pattern, (2) that plants respond to mechanisms and tolerances which work both in spaces inside plants and in those spaces
outside plants that influence them and/or they may be able to influence, and (3) that those responses make up plant niches
which may be able to predict how plants replace themselves over time and space. Consequently I suggest to future field researchers
that the best way to understand plant community patterns is to study plant-plant replacements, first by sampling long-term
vegetation plots in order to map them, and then by manipulating mechanisms and tolerances in field experiments in order to
understand what causes them. 相似文献

Medicinal plants are an important part of the environment as it is perceived by Mexican indigenous groups. The aim of this study, which was conducted over a period of 18 months in three Yucatec Mayan communities, is to better understand the selection criteria for medicinal plants. An important group of selection criteria are the flavor and aroma of plants. The absence of smell or taste indicates that the taxon has no potential medical value. Medicinal plants are more often considered to be sweet or aromatic (to smell good) or astringent, while a similar percentage of medicinal and nonmedicinal plants are considered bitter, spicy, acidic, or bad smelling. The relationship between the ethnobotanical data obtained for the individual plants and the secondary plant products (natural products) prominent in each species is specifically addressed in this paper. It shows that an understanding of the indigenous concepts used to distinguish medicinal from nonmedicinal species has considerable heuristic value. 相似文献
