Denied density-dependent seedling recruitment in a fragmented forest does not decrease seedling diversity
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2011)
Denied density-dependent seedling recruitment in a fragmented forest does not decrease seedling diversity
(2011)
Negative density-dependent relationships in plant communities are currently claimed as an important mechanism for the maintenance of plant diversity. However, anthropogenic perturbations such as forest fragmentation might ...
Unexpectedly, intense livestock grazing in arid rangelands strengthens the seedling vigor of consumed plants
(EDP Sciences, 2016-12)
Grazing intensification with non-native livestock is known to degrade vegetation cover, particularly in arid environments where low resource availability strongly limits plant recovery after damage. However, it remains ...
Temporal and micro-spatial patterning of seedling establishment. Consequences for patch dynamics in the southern Monte, Argentina
(Springer, 2004-05)
We compared the temporal and micro-spatial patterning of seedling emergence and establishment of two cohorts of perennial grasses and shrubs in the southern Monte, Argentina. Samplings were carried out in two contrasting ...
Effects of substrate and temperature on the emergence of Phacelia sp. (Boraginaceae) seedling
(2013-06-25)
This study aimed to define the best substrate and temperature for the emergence of Phacelia sp. seedling, annual ornamental flower gardens. The experimental design was entirely randomized in a factorial scheme 37 (three ...
Mortality and mechanical damage of seedlings in different size fragments of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(Int Soc Tropical EcologyVaranasiÍndia, 2009)
Effect of five substrates and three seed types on Calendula officinalis (Asteraceae) germination and seedling development
(1999-12-01)
The investigation was carried out during May - June 1996 in Agronomical Sciences College - UNESP, Campus de Botucatu. The objective was to study the effect of seed types (carenate, alate and orbicular) and different ...
Negative and positive interactions among plants: effect of competitors and litter on seedling emergence and growth of forest and grassland species
(Wiley, 2015-05)
Living plant neighbours, but also their dead aboveground remains (i.e. litter), may individually exert negative or positive effects on plant recruitment. Although living plants and litter co-occur in most ecosystems, few ...
Production of lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa) in granular rockwool and expanded perlite for use in hydroponics
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, 2009)
Effect of sowing season, plant cover, and climatic variability on seedling emergence and survival in burned Austrocedrus chilensis forests
(Wiley, 2012-01)
Fire is the most important disturbance factor in Cypress (Austrocedrus chilensis) forests in Patagonia, Argentina. This ecosystem recovers poorly after fire, and direct sowing could be a potentially useful restoration ...
