Biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth in post‐fire restoration of Patagonian Nothofagus pumilio forests

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
In post‐fire subantarctic forests of Torres del Paine National Park, nucleation‐based reforestation of Nothofagus pumilio was evaluated over 5 years to assess how the identity, proximity, and lateral coverage of biological legacies influence seedling survival and growth.

Soil seed bank and the effect of needle litter layer on seedling emergence in a tropical pine plantation

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2011
The soil seed bank is the basis for community establishment and permanence and plays a primary role in natural restoration of degraded or altered ecosystems.

Mangrove expansion in a large river delta is dependent on foreshore geomorphology

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our findings provide guidance for large‐scale mangrove restoration, particularly in tropical river deltas, by identifying sites where (1) mangroves can potentially expand in the future, and (2) conditions are favourable for active mangrove seedling planting. The presence of a mudflat in front of existing mangroves is not sufficient.

Landscape forest cover, not edge contrast, modulates edge effects on palm diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that landscape forest cover plays a critical role in modulating edge effects in plant communities in our study system, but not all woody crops systems provide buffering benefits, as cacao plantations in our study failed to soften edge effects.

Estudos preliminares da influência do potencial energético de sementes de leguminosas, na produção de matéria seca das plântulas

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2014
Com o objetivo de comparar o tamanho e o peso médio de sementes, a quantidade média de energia potencial e a quantidade de matéria seca produzida às expensas dos cotilédones, instalou-se na Estação Experimental Central do instituto de Zootecnia, em Nova Odessa, o presente experimento, com cinco leguminosas forrageiras, a saber : Stizolobiam aterrimum ...

Integrated demographic strategies are more strongly associated with variation in conspecific density dependence than single traits in tropical tree seedlings

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Species‐specific conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) varied widely among tropical tree species. CNDD was strongest in fast‐growing species and tall, long‐lived pioneers, weakly related to most functional traits except wood density and strongest in rare species. These results show that integrated life‐history strategies explain CNDD variation

Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

Species functional traits affect regional and local dominance across western Amazonian forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dominant tree species in western Amazonian forests show distinct functional trait combinations linked to habitat type: conservative traits in stressful habitats and greater plant size in less stressful environments. Local dominants are defined by resource conservation strategies and widespread dominants are defined by resource acquisition strategies. A

Mycorrhization in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis and E. oleifera x E. guineensis) in the pre-nursery stage

Agronomía Colombiana, 2013
The symbiosis between oil palm roots and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM)-forming fungi is an important aspect of the biology of the crop. Here, we describe the mycorrhization process and the effect of an inoculation with Glomus intraradices on plant growth ...
