Tree 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...
متن کاملAdditive and nonadditive effects of herbivory and competition on tree seedling mortality, growth, and allocation.
The interaction between simulated cotyledon herbivory and interspecific competition was studied in a greenhouse experiment using two species of trees, Acer rubrum and Quercus palustris, which commonly invade abandoned agricultural fields. Herbivory treatments were applied as a gradient of cotyledon removal for A. rubrum with 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of cotyledon tissue removed. Cotyledons from Q...
متن کاملCompetitive effects of herbaceous vegetation on tree seedling emergence, growth and survival: Does gap size matter?
Question: What is the effect of gap size on the seedling emergence, growth and survival of four common tree species in wooded pastures? Location: A pasture in the Jura mountains, Switzerland. Methods: Seeds were sown in a complete three-way factorial design with eight blocks in May 2003. Each block consisted of a competition treatment (four gap sizes including zero) and a mowing treatment (mown...
متن کاملShaking up the Tree of Life.
18 NOVEMBER 2016 • VOL 354 ISSUE 6314 817 I n 2010, a comparison between the genomes of a Neandertal and people today settled what anthropologists and geneticists had debated for decades: Our ancestors had indeed mated with their archaic cousins, producing hybrid children. They, in turn, had mated with other modern humans, leaving their distant descendants—us—with a permanent Neandertal legacy....
متن کاملSeed 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...
