Size-related seed use by rodents on early recruitment of Quercus serrata in a subtropical island forest
(2022-01-01)
Rodents are ubiquitous seed predators in nature and their size-related seed choice plays an important role in the plant's community structure. However, to understand how size-related seed predation by rodents affects plant ...
Seedling Community in a Patchy Tropical Vegetation Under the Influence of Bamboos
(Sage Publications Inc, 2018-04-11)
As a group adapted to invade disturbed sites, bamboos can dominate extensive areas and, thus, alter vegetation structure and dynamics. However, the effect of bamboo expansion associated to human activity on seedling ...
The role of nurse functional types in seedling recruitment dynamics of alternative states in rangelands
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2017-02)
In arid ecosystems, recruitment dynamics are limited by harsh environmental conditions and greatly depend on the net outcome of the balance between facilitation and competition. This outcome can change as a consequence of ...
Mortality and mechanical damage of seedlings in different size fragments of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(Int Soc Tropical EcologyVaranasiÍndia, 2009)
Beneficial effect of spider presence on seedling recruitment of the tropical rainforest tree Dipteryx oleifera (Fabaceae)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2009)
Seed rain and soil seed bank compensatory roles on Nassella tenuis (Phil.) Barkworth seedling recruitment in ungrazed and grazed sites
(Science Press, 2022-05)
In semi-arid lands, vegetation is distributed in shrub patches immersed in a less vegetated interpatch matrix. Grazing affects perennial grass seed bank through a decrease in seed rain and an increase in seed predation and ...
How does spatial micro-environmental heterogeneity influence seedling recruitment in ironstone outcrops?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-03-01)
Questions Environmental filters limit the set of potentially coexisting species in plant communities. Paradoxically, some of the world's most biodiverse communities are subjected to strong abiotic filters. We explored how ...
No changes in seedling recruitment when terrestrial mammals are excluded in a partially defaunated Atlantic rainforest
(2013-07-01)
One of the most intriguing questions in ecology is how to identify which and how many species will be able to inhabit human-modified landscapes. Large-bodied mammals structure plant communities by trampling, herbivory, ...
