Seed mass, seedling size and neotropical tree seedling establishment
1 We examined amongand within-species effects of seed mass for seedling establishment from seed to 5 years of age in a field experiment at Paracou, French Guiana. 2 Six seeds of each of eight species were weighed and planted into each of 120 plots (1 m 2 ) throughout closed-canopy forest along 12 100-m transects in 1998. 3 We described the microhabitat of each planting site using principal comp...
متن کاملFire effects on seedling establishment success across treeline: implications for future tree migration and flammability in a changing climate
Understanding the complex mechanisms controlling treeline advance or retreat in the arctic and subarctic has important implications for projecting ecosystem response to changes in climate. Changes in landcover due to a treeline biome shift would alter climate feedbacks (carbon storage and energy exchange), ecosystem services such as wildlife and berry habitat, and landscape flammability. Wildfi...
متن کاملClimate warming and precipitation redistribution modify tree-grass interactions and tree species establishment in a warm-temperate savanna.
Savanna tree-grass interactions may be particularly sensitive to climate change. Establishment of two tree canopy dominants, post oak (Quercus stellata) and eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), grown with the dominant C4 perennial grass (Schizachyrium scoparium) in southern oak savanna of the United States were evaluated under four climatic scenarios for 6 years. Tree-grass interactions wer...
متن کاملPhysical defence traits enhance seedling survival of neotropical tree species
1. Physical defence traits of stems and leaves should enhance biomechanical strength and survival of seedlings. For eight neotropical tree species that differ widely in lifehistory strategies, we compared stem and leaf biomechanical traits of 1 and 7-monthold seedlings grown in the shaded forest understorey and in the laboratory. 2. Material traits (biomechanical traits per unit volume, mass or...
متن کاملTree seedling growth: effects of shaking.
ence in the productivity of the vegetation on the control plots. Odum et al. (2) observed comparable differences in productivity during old field succession, but these were attributable to previous fertilization and changes in the growth forms of the dominants, factors not adequately discussed by Hurd et al. We have also observed significant differences in the primary production of herbaceous c...
