DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3421
Abstract: Abstract Tree recruitment is a spatially structured process that may undergo change over time because of variation in postdispersal processes. We examined seed pilferage, seed germination, and seedling survival in whitebark pine to determine whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8525
Abstract: Abstract Density dependence and habitat heterogeneity have been recognized as important driving mechanisms that shape the patterns of seedling survival and promote species coexistence in species‐rich forests. In this study, we evaluated the relative importance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8870
Abstract: Abstract Trait–environment correlations can arise from local adaptation and can identify genetically and environmentally appropriate seeds for restoration projects. However, anthropogenic changes can disrupt the relationships between traits and fitness. Finding the best seed sources… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117498
Abstract: Abstract Although invasive trees species spread effectively across different habitats, data on survival of their seedlings are scarce. We compared seedling survival after the first year from germination for the three most invasive tree species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14000
Abstract: Predicting the fate of tropical forests under a changing climate requires understanding species responses to climatic variability and extremes. Seedlings may be particularly vulnerable to climatic stress given low stored resources and undeveloped roots; they… read more here.
