Do plant traits explain tree seedling survival in bogs
- 2014
Environmental Science
The results show that drought inhibits moss growth, thereby increasing survival of tree seedlings, and conclude that plant traits contribute to explaining successful early tree seedling establishment in bogs.
Seedling recruitment in peat bogs in contrasting hydrologic conditions
- 2010
Environmental Science
The study examined the effect of variation in hydrology on seedling recruitment of shrubs, trees and herbs in peat bogs. The establishment of plants and hydrologic conditions were followed in two…
Seedling establishment of late colonizer is facilitated by seedling and overstory of early colonizer in a post-mined peatland
- 2010
Environmental Science
The seedling establishment of late colonizer may be promoted in the environments created by the early colonizer without interspecific seedling competition, as confirmed in a post-mined peatland, northern Japan.
Seed germination at different temperatures and seedling emergence at different depths of Rhamnus spp
- 2014
Environmental Science
The objectives of this work were to determine the ability of these species to germinate seeds under different temperature ranges, as well as the capacity of seedlings to emerge from different burial depths, in order to better understand their regeneration processes.
Peat bog restoration: Effect of phosphorus on plant re-establishment
- 2007
Environmental Science
After three growing seasons, it was found that bryophytes were the main strata benefiting from P fertilization and splitting the fertilization in two applications slightly improves the re-establishment of P. strictum.

Environmental Science
In the Monte Austral Neuquino, Argentina, vegetation is arranged in patches. Understanding the mechanisms involved in their distribution is critical for preventing desertification. The working…
Effects of sedge and cottongrass tussocks on plant establishment patterns in a post-mined peatland, northern Japan
- 2009
Environmental Science
Investigations in a formerly Sphagnum-dominated wetland found tussocks facilitated plant establishment in the edge microhabitat by providing litter cover, enhancing seed accumulation, germination and survival, and thus promoted revegetation.
bog restoration : Effect of phosphorus on plant e-establishment
- 2007
Environmental Science
Vegetation responses to phosphorus (P) fertilization were assessed on post-vacuum extracted peatlands under ecological restoration. The study aimed to evaluate the importance of P fertilization in…

Seed/cotyledon size and nutrient content play a major role in early performance of species on nutrient‐poor soils
- 1997
Environmental Science
The results indicate that the cotyledons have an important nutritional function in the early establishment of seedlings in these species, and propose that large seeds might be an adaptation for enhancing establishment in nutrient-poor soils.
Seedling growth in relation to seed size among species of arid Australia
- 1992
Environmental Science
It has been reported that species from environments where seedlings are prone to drought during establishment tend to have larger seeds. One proposed reason for this is that larger-seeded species…
Viable seed populations by soil depth and potential site recolonization after disturbance
- 1977
Environmental Science
Viable seed number varied from 3400/m2 for a deciduous-dominated forest study site to zero for a bog study site and most seeds germinated from the upper organic soil layers of all study sites and were predominantly Rubus strigosus Michx.
Light-dependent changes in biomass allocation and their importance for growth of rain forest tree species
- 2001
Environmental Science
Sapling growth of six rain forest tree species was compared to evaluate whether species respond in a similar way to a natural light gradient, and the effect of SLA was not related to the shade tolerance of the species.
The role of seed size in seedling establishment in dry soil conditions - Experimental evidence from semi-arid species
- 1994
Environmental Science
In the field, seedlings from large seeds had higher percentage emergence and survival than small seeded seedlings, but there was no evidence of a relatively greater advantage under drier soil conditions.
Seedling relative growth rate and its components in relation to seed size: phylogenetically independent contrasts

Biology, Environmental Science
The association reported in several previous studies between larger seed mass and slower potential seedling RGR occurs repeatedly within genera and families, as well as across older divergences between families and orders.
Control of seedling emergence by ground cover and seed predation in relation to seed size for some old-field species
- 1993
Agricultural and Food Sciences, Environmental Science
A field experiment was conducted to test whether control of seedling emergence by ground cover and seed predation depended on seed size, and the relationship between seed mass and effects ofGround cover and (or) seedpredation on seedling emerged was determined.
Early plant succession in two abandoned cut-over peatland areas

Environmental Science
Initial stages of plant succession (from 0 to 8 or 9 yr) were studied on abandoned peat harvest sites of two adjacent areas in Finland. At the Mustasuo area only 13 field layer species, all…
Plant colonization of bare peat surface ‐ relative importance of seed availability and soil
- 1992
Environmental Science
A field experiment was conducted to examine whether the differences in revegetation were mainly a consequence of differences in seed supply or in substrate quality, and found that seed supply appeared to be the major factor controlling colonization.
Components of relative growth rate and their interrelations in 59 temperate plant species
- 1997
Environmental Science, Biology
It was concluded that mean RGR plays a central role in the identification of pathways of evolutionary specialization in herbaceous species and that high RGR was never seen in combination with low SLA.
