• Germination and seedling establishment of two annual grasses on lichen-dominated biological soil crusts (2007, background): “The distinct morphological characteristics of the surfaces tested suggest that differences in seed to seedbed contact and seed water absorption can be responsible for the lower germination on the lichen crust (Sedia and Ehrenfeld 2003; Zamfir 2000).”
• 15 The Symbiotic Phenotype of Lichen-Forming Ascomycetes and Their Endo- and Epibionts (2012, background): “They retain humidity, provide nutrients and thus facilitate seed germination in steppe and other ecosystems (St. Clair et al. 1984; Prasse and Bornkamm 2000; Büdel and Lange 2001; Sedia and Ehrenfeld 2003; Büdel et al. 2009; Zedda and Rambold 2009).”
• Biological soil crusts and their microenvironment: Impact on emergence, survival and establishment of seedlings (2009, methodology): “experiments in controlled environments (e.g. Eldridge et al., 2000; Jeschke and Kiehl, 2008; Keizer et al., 1985; Prasse and Bornkamm, 2000; Sedia and Ehrenfeld, 2003; Serpe et al., 2006; Van Tooren, 1990).”
• Germination and seed water status of four grasses on moss-dominated biological soil crusts from arid lands (2006, background): “On the other hand, the results indicating that germination on short mosses was significantly lower than on tall mosses contrast with studies showing a decrease in germination and seedling emergence with an increase in moss thickness (Cross 1981; Zamfir 2000; Sedia and Ehrenfeld 2003).”
• Can forest management based on natural disturbances maintain ecological resilience (2006, background): “…in New Jersey, USA Open, sparsely vegetated areas dominated by lichen mats vs. moss-dominated areas that foster pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.) forests Sedia and Ehrenfeld 2003 Sandhill forests, Florida, USA Hardwood vs. longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill) as a function of fire frequency…”
