On the reasons that natural regeneration is important for species coexistence in tropical forests
Colombia Forestal, 2014 Plant regeneration plays a critical role in the maintenance of species diversity in tropical rainforests. This is a multistage process, including seed production, dispersal, germination and subsequent seedling establishment.

Two decades of demography reveals that seed and seedling transitions limit population persistence in a translocated shrub [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2014 Olearia flocktoniae is an endangered shrub that was passively translocated from its natural ecosystem, where it has since gone extinct. This study aimed to determine sensitivities vital to populations persisting in human-created areas.Population colonization, longevity and extinction were investigated over 20 years using 133 populations.

Forest Densification and Pollution Rival Climate in Driving US Tree Demographic Change. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolForests across the contiguous United States are responding to simultaneous changes in climate, atmospheric pollution, and forest density, yet the relative importance of these drivers for tree demographic rates has rarely been compared. Using two decades of nationwide forest inventory data, we quantified the sensitivity of recruitment, growth, and ...

Population dynamics of a long-lived alpine plant with sexual and clonal reproduction [PDF]
, 2006 This thesis focuses on the demography, reproduction, and pre-dispersal seed predation of the alpine clonal plant Geum reptans. In chapter 2, I studied the population dynamics of G.

Demographic analysis of Agave angustifolia (Agavaceae) with an emphasis on ecological restoration
Botanical Sciences, 2016 We studied the demography of two populations of Agave angustifolia, one in a preserved tropical dry forest (Xochicalco), and the other one in a pastureland area used for cattle grazing (Tembembe), to test whether populations are likely to thrive on the ...
