The dynamics of conspecific tree and seedling neighbors on seedling survival in a subtropical forest
Forest Ecology and Management, 2021Abstract Negative intraspecific interactions could provide opportunities for heterospecific regeneration, thereby maintaining species coexistence in forest communities. Increasing conspecific tree and seedling neighbor densities often have negative correlations with seedling survival.

OsMORF9 is necessary for chloroplast development and seedling survival in rice
Plant Science, 2021Chloroplasts are closely associated with the growth and development of higher plants. Accumulating evidence has revealed that the multiple organellar RNA editing factors (MORF) family of proteins influences plastidic and mitochondrial development through post-transcriptional regulation.

Seedling survival and seed size: a synthesis of the literature
Journal of Ecology, 2004Summary Large‐seeded species have long been known to have higher survivorship during establishment than small‐seeded species. Here, we assessed the size of this advantage by compiling published data on survival through seedling emergence, seedling establishment and sapling establishment.

Effect of Seedling Numbers on Bitterbrush Survival
Journal of Range Management, 1967Highlight In southwestern Idaho, a good stand of bifferbrush contains from 800 fo 1,000 plants per acre; reseeding programs shouId aim for a similar density of shrubs. The chance fhai any seed spot may confain af Ieasf one live seedling al fhe end of the first growing season appears to be directly correlated with the initial number of seedlings fhaf ...

Mound Microclimate, Nutrients and Seedling Survival
The American Midland Naturalist, 2004Abstract Mounds formed by pocket gophers (Geomys pinetis) in a longleaf pine—wiregrass savanna had larger daily soil temperature fluctuations than surrounding matrix locations. Microsite temperature differences persisted for more than a year, but were largest during summer months.

Germination and seedling survival in fens undergoing succession
Plant Ecology, 2006We studied mechanisms of vegetation change in fens subject to succession from open water to floating mats and finally herbaceous rich-fens. Earlier research showed that these systems are characterized by transient seed banks. Our main question was whether seedlings of later successional fen stages are already present in earlier stages, remaining ...

Germination, the Survival of Seedlings and Competition
1993Went (1953) has summarized his research carried out in the Mojave and Colorado deserts of North America (in collaboration with M. Juhren and E. Phillips) (Went 1948, 1949; Went and Westergaard 1949). He arrived at the conclusion that evolution plays only a minor role in the selection of desert annuals after they have germinated.

Survival and growth of Juniperus seedlings in Juniperus woodlands
Plant Ecology, 2005Juniperus woodlands are widely distributed in western North America. Few studies of seedling emergence, long-term survival, growth or mortality of the dominant Juniperus spp. in these woodlands have been carried out. Consequently, regeneration dynamics in these woodlands are poorly understood. Juniperus ashei is the dominant woody plant in the majority

Embryo and Seedling Survival and Plant Development
2002Osborne and Boubriak (1994) defined five stages during seed development, maturation, the post-maturation period and dehydration. These are two stages of intolerance to desiccation and three stages of desiccation tolerance. When the seed moisture content is reduced to below 10%, seeds become drought-tolerant, as also do seeds that are rehydrated to ...

Evolutionary history and distance dependence control survival of dipterocarp seedlings
Ecology Letters, 2009Abstract One important hypothesis to explain tree‐species coexistence in tropical forests suggests that increased attack by natural enemies near conspecific trees gives locally rare species a competitive advantage.
