Seed predation and seedling recruitment in plants: The effect of the distance between parents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We present a graphic model that explores the effect of distance between parent plants on seed predation and seedling recruitment. Based on the assumption that distance between parents may affect the shape of the seed shadow, the model predicts that seed ...

Weaker plant-enemy interactions decrease tree seedling diversity with edge-effects in a fragmented tropical forest

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Tree diversity decreases at the edges of fragmented forests. Here, Krishnadas et al. find that weaker top-down regulation by insects and fungal pathogens during seedling recruitment contributes to reduced tree seedling diversity near forest edges in a ...

The exotic palm Roystonea oleracea (Jacq.) O. F. Cook (Arecaceae) on an island within the Atlantic Forest Biome: naturalization and influence on seedling recruitment

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2014
Here, we investigated the population structure of the exotic palm Roystonea oleracea in a swamp on an island within the Atlantic Forest Biome, evaluating its influence on the seedling recruitment of other plant species.

Setaria faberi Seed Heteroblasty Blueprints Seedling Recruitment: III. Seedling Recruitment Behavior

open access: yes, 2012
Seedling recruitment of heterogeneous Setaria faberi seed entering the soil post-abscission is elucidated herein. This is the third in a series of three articles providing evidence that weedy Setaria seedling recruitment behavior is predicated on ...

Factors involved in recruitment process of an endemic gypsophyte species in Spain: Teucrium libanitis

open access: yesRevista Cubana de Ciencias Forestales, 2013
Gypsum soils in arid and semi-arid environments impose an important restriction of vascular plants. Factors controlling the recruitment of gypsophytes species are not completely understood. Recruitment is the combined result of processes involved in soil

Bulbuls and crows provide complementary seed dispersal for China’s endangered trees

open access: yesAvian Research, 2017
Background Different functional frugivores generally exhibit unequal contributions, both in terms of quantity (seed removal) and quality (seedling recruitment), to effective seed dispersal of plant species.

Compound disease and wildfire disturbances alter opportunities for seedling regeneration in resprouter‐dominated forests

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Human‐altered disturbance regimes and changing climatic conditions can reduce seed availability and suitable microsites, limiting seedling regeneration in recovering forest systems.

The influence of microsite and seed limitation on annual weed seedling recruitment in arable agriculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The germination and emergence of a seedling, or seedling recruitment remains an essential process in the establishment of a plant. This establishment can be limited by the availability of microsites within the soil profile, or the availability of seed ...
