Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “…additional dormancy layers inhibiting germination, which may be related to physical seed traits (e.g. seed coat hardness), or physiological indicators such as temperature stratification, light fluctuation/quality, fire or ripening requirements (reviewed in Dalling et al. 2011; Long et al. 2015).”
Seed and seedling traits affecting critical life stage transitions and recruitment outcomes in dryland grasses (2015, background): “seed area to mass ratio or physiological controls (Dalling et al. 2011; Gardarin, D€ urr & Colbach 2011), seed response to drying (e.”
Impacts of white-tailed deer on regional patterns of forest tree recruitment (2016, background): “These factors include the often intense competition of seedlings and saplings for water, soil nutrients, and light (Aarssen & Epp 1990; Dalling et al. 2011).”
