Tree seedling functional traits mediate plant-soil feedback survival responses across a gradient of light availability.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
1. Though not often examined together, both plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) and functional traits have important influences on plant community dynamics and could interact.

Species Identity and Initial Size Rather Than Neighborhood Interactions Influence Survival in a Response-Surface Examination of Competition

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
To measure intraspecific and interspecific interaction coefficients among tree species is the key to explore the underlying mechanisms for species coexistence and biodiversity maintenance in forests.

A comparison of the recruitment success of introduced and native species under natural conditions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
It is commonly accepted that introduced species have recruitment advantages over native species. However, this idea has not been widely tested, and those studies that have compared survival of introduced and native species have produced mixed results. We

Possibility of bare-root seedling application for tropical forest and landscape restoration: A study on Gmelina arborea and Calophyllum inophyllum [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Container and bare-root seedlings are the two basic stock types used in reforestation programs in many countries, but in the tropics, bare-root seedlings have never been widely applied. The objective of this research was to assess the possibility of bare-

Effects of field vegetation control on pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) damage to newly planted Norway spruce seedlings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We investigated interactions between field vegetation and seedling damage caused by a major insect pest, the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.), in an experiment established on a clear-cut area in southern Sweden.

Conifer Seedling Survival in Response to High Surface Temperature Events of Varying Intensity and Duration

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Forests face accelerating threats due to increases in the severity and frequency of drought and heat stress associated with climate change. In particular, changing patterns of forest regeneration after disturbance will be important in predicting future ...

Mutagenic effect of ion beam irradiation on survival and seedling growth characters of malaysian rice (Oryza sativa l.) variety mr84 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Ion beam irradiation has emerged as an excellent tool for mutation breeding to produce new promising mutant variety. Ion beam has been found to show high relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of growth inhibition. The effects of ion beam radiation were

Seedling density and seedling survival in Alaskan cotton grass tussock tundra

open access: yesEcography, 1982
Previous workers have suggested that reproduction by seedling establishment is less important in the maintenance of tundra vegetation than in temperate areas, but few quantitative data are available. Seedling densities were studied at 11 tundra sites in or near disturbed and undisturbed cotton grass tussock tundra in Alaska, and ...

Experimental downed woody debris-created microsites enhance tree survival and growth in extreme summer heat

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionIncreasing temperatures associated with climate change can lead to more challenging conditions for tree seedlings, including greater soil surface temperatures and reduced growing season soil moisture.

Seedling survival mechanism of a deciduous broad-leaved forest in the sub-tropical to temperate transition zone in the Qinling Mountains

open access: yesXibei zhiwu xuebao
[Objective] Survival of species seedlings is closely related to various biotic and abiotic factors. Exploring the key factors affecting seedling survival is helpful for the understanding of species coexistence mechanisms.
