due the failure to complete the whole life cycle (Eriksson 2000). These remnant populations may play an important ecological role for ecosystem resilience‚ due to positive interactions with other plants and animals (e.g. microbial community and pollinators) and decreasing nutrient variation in disturbed soil (Lavorel et al. 1997‚ Eriksson 2000).Despite the recognized ecological importance (JOHANSSON et al. 2011)‚ little is
