• Demographic processes limiting seedling recruitment in arid grassland restoration (2011, background): “In some cases, germination or seedling emergence has appeared to be the major recruitment bottleneck, with the percentage of grass and forb seed sown that become established ranging from 2 to 7% (Pyke 1990; Chambers 2000).”
• Agglomerating seeds to enhance native seedling emergence and growth (2012, background): “For instance, seeds can be collected within litter material, holes and cracks in the soil surface, or other features that trap wind-blown seeds (Eckert et al. 1986; Stamp 1989; Chambers, MacMahon & Haefner 1991; Chambers 2000).”
• Natural Regeneration Processes in Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) (2014, background): “…limit the availability of seeds for big sagebrush reestablishment in large disturbed areas such as the interior of burns (e.g., Mueggler 1956; Johnson and Payne 1968), in areas of shrub die-off (e.g., Cárdenas et al. 1997), and restoration areas (Chambers 2000; Lysne and Pellant 2004; Lysne 2005).”
• Litter effects on plant regeneration in arid lands: a complex balance between seed retention, seed longevity and soil–seed contact (2005, background): “…increase seed longevity by reducing soil temperature (Chambers & MacMahon 1994) or increase seedling establishment by improving water availability (Evans & Young 1970; Carson & Peterson 1990), but may reduce seedling germination by directly reducing soil–seed contact (Chambers 2000; Fowler 1986).”
• Effects of bryophytes and grass litter on seedling emergence vary by vertical seed position and seed size (2010, background): “1984; Rotundo and Aguiar 2005) or thick layers present a barrier that hamper seedlings to pierce through the litter from below to reach the light (Fowler 1986; Chambers 2000; Rotundo and Aguiar 2005).”
• Big sagebrush: A sea fragmented into lakes, ponds, and puddles (2005, background): “Chambers (2000) noted that seeds lacking appendages and with small surface areas, such as big sagebrush, do not experience significant horizontal movement.”
