A seeding experiment for testing tree-community recruitment under variable environments: Implications for forest regeneration and conservation in Mediterranean habitats (2009, background): “These populations represent the southern limit of the distribution area and, under a Mediterranean climate, boreo-alpine species face environmental constraints that differ from those of their main, northern distribution area (García et al., 2000; Castro et al., 2004; Hampe and Petit, 2005).”
Alleviation of Summer Drought Boosts Establishment Success of Pinus sylvestris in a Mediterranean Mountain: An Experimental Approach (2005, background): “…a gradient from high radiation and low soil moisture in the Open microhabitat to deep shade and higher soil moisture in Pine microhabitat (see Castro et al. 2002b, 2004a; Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2004, for a similar pattern in abiotic conditions) that uncouples the requirements for survival…”
Mediterranean pine and oak distribution in southern Spain: Is there a mismatch between regeneration and adult distribution? (2011, background): “Pines were able to reach the more severe (i.e. colder, drier) environments; for example P. sylvestris and P. nigra were dominant at the coldest end in montane areas (Castro et al. 2004), while P. halepensis and P. pinaster .”
Interactions between growth, demography and biotic interactions in determining species range limits in a warming world: the case of Pinus sylvestris (2012, background): “The recent changes in precipitation and temperature are increasing the already limiting conditions of dry and warm summers for Scots pine at its southernmost limit (Castro et al., 2004a).”
Spatial patterns of recruitment in Mediterranean plant species: linking the fate of seeds, seedlings and saplings in heterogeneous landscapes at different scales (2008, background): “The limited nurse capacity of spiny deciduous shrubs has been reported elsewhere for seedling survival (Castro et al. 2004a; Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2004, 2005c), and results shown here suggest that it also applies to the overall early recruitment cycle.”
Conserving biodiversity under climate change: the rear edge matters. (2005, background): “However, species interactions could also have the opposite effect, since facilitation tends to increase under water stress (cf. Danin 1999; Castro et al. 2004), allowing persistence of a given species in areas where simple models predict that it cannot survive.”
Climate Relicts: Past, Present, Future (2011, background): “Indeed, numerous studies in semiarid regions have shown that successful recruitment of relict plants often relies heavily on facilitation by nurse plants (e.g., Castro et al. 2004, Ramı́rez et al. 2006, ValienteBanuet et al. 2006).”
Canopy vs. soil effects of shrubs facilitating tree seedlings in Mediterranean montane ecosystems (2005, background): “…pioneer shrubs facilitate early recruitment of tree seedlings in the Mediterranean mountains, thereby showing the relevance that positive interactions play during secondary succession in these type of ecosystems (see also Maestre et al. 2001, 2003; Castro et al. 2004b; Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2004).”
The Strait of Gibraltar as a melting pot for plant biodiversity (2008, background): “The latter are well-represented in the high mountains of the SE Iberian Peninsula and the Atlas mountains of N Africa, where they have become isolated since the Ice Ages (Castro et al., 2004).”
Recruitment limitation of forest communities in a degraded Mediterranean landscape (2009, background): “Species with wind and ballistic dispersal followed the general spatial pattern of higher seed limitation at lower adult densities, because dispersal distances are shorter (mainly for ballistic dispersal) and therefore seed arrival depends on the proximity of parents (Castro et al. 2004; Gómez-Aparic”
Re‐analysis of meta‐analysis: support for the stress‐gradient hypothesis (2006, background): “Arizaga & Ezcurra 2002 Castro et al. 2004 Anderson et al. 2001 Berlow et al. 2003 Chambers 2001 Casper 1996 Brooks 2003 Eckstein 2005 Donovan & Richards 2000 Brown & Archer 1999 Garcia-Fayos & Gasque 2002 Goldberg et al. 2001 Burger & Louda 1995 Gomez-Aparicio et al. 2004 Gurevitch 1986 Callaway e”
