Abstract
The results of previous studies concerning spon- taneous vegetation succession in various man-made or dis- turbed habitats in Central Europe are discussed in relation to restoration ecology. An attempt is made to answer the main questions which are important to restoration pro- grams. These concern the rate and direction of succession; participation of target species and communities, woody species, ruderals and aliens; arresting or diverting succes- sion; changes in species diversity; variability of succes- sional pathways and the role of abiotic environmental con- ditions. The great potential for using successional theory in restoration programs is emphasized.
