Seedling survival and seed size: a synthesis of the literature

Journal of Ecology, 2004
Summary 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.

Disentangling the effects of biotic neighbors and habitat heterogeneity on seedling survival in a deciduous broad-leaved forest

open access: yesForest Ecology and Management, 2022
In forest ecosystems, seedling dynamics play a critical role in understanding species coexistence and community assembly. Exploring the effects of key factors on seedling survival can therefore offer key insights into how they interact to affect seedling

The dynamics of conspecific tree and seedling neighbors on seedling survival in a subtropical forest

Forest Ecology and Management, 2021
Abstract 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, 2021
Chloroplasts 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.

Effect of Seedling Numbers on Bitterbrush Survival

Journal of Range Management, 1967
Highlight 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, 2004
Abstract 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, 2006
We 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 ...
