Strong microsite control of seedling recruitment in tundra [PDF]
Oecologia, 2010 The inclusion of environmental variation in studies of recruitment is a prerequisite for realistic predictions of the responses of vegetation to a changing environment. We investigated how seedling recruitment is affected by seed availability and microsite quality along a steep environmental gradient in dry tundra.

Selected Factors Affecting Seedling Recruitment of Dalmatian Toadflax [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2002 Seedling recruitment of Dalmatian toadflax, (Linaria genistifolia ssp. dalmatica (L.) Maire and Petitmengin (Scrophulariaceae)), was examined in a 2-year field study in Montana using overseeding and plant/insect exclusion methods, to determine whether it was more limited by seed availability or interspecific plant competition.

Lichens facilitate seedling recruitment in alpine heath [PDF]
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2019 AbstractQuestionsHow do mat thickness, physical structure and allelopathic properties of terricolous mat‐forming lichens affect recruitment of vascular plants in dwarf‐shrub and lichen heath vegetation?LocationThe mountains of Dovrefjell, central Norway.MethodsIn autumn, seeds of ten vascular plant species were collected and sown in a common garden ...

Grass Seedling Recruitment in Cattle Dungpats [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2004 Livestock seed dispersal (fecal seeding) is gaining recognition as a method to reintroduce desirable species to degraded rangelands. A field study was conducted to determine the influence of cattle dungpat thickness on the recruitment of Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda Presl.), bluebunch wheatgrass (Psuedoroegneria spicata [Pursh] A.

Denied density-dependent seedling recruitment in a fragmented forest does not decrease seedling diversity [PDF]
Revista chilena de historia natural, 2011 Las relaciones denso-dependientes negativas en las comunidades vegetales son actualmente senaladas como un importante mecanismo para la mantencion de la diversidad de plantas. Sin embargo, las perturbaciones antropogenicas como la fragmentacion del bosque podrian modificar este tipo de relaciones.

Basic and Applied EcologySeedling recruitment is a key process of plant regeneration that often depends on plant functional traits, such as seed size. To optimize forest restoration efforts, we need to better understand how seedling recruitment of different seed sizes varies ...

Seed dispersal and seedling recruitment in Protea laurifolia
South African Journal of Botany, 1986 The pattern of seedling recruitment around a single isolated Protea laurifolia Thunb. individual after a fire, was determined using a chi-square goodness of fit test for uniformity and Rayleigh’s test for direction. Recruitment occurred largely to the north-west of the parent plant whereas the wind after the fire came largely from the south-east ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Seedling recruitment is a bottleneck for population dynamics and range shift. The vital rates linked to recruitment by seed are impacted by amplified drought induced by climate change. In the Mediterranean region, autumn and winter seedling emergence and
