Understory vegetation in old-growth and second-growth Tsuga canadensis forests in western Massachusetts (2009, background): “alleghaniensis, likely contributed to the abundance of these seedlings among hemlock study areas as these species often dominate the seed banks of hemlock-dominated forests (Catovsky and Bazzaz, 2000; Yorks et al., 2000; Sullivan and Ellison, 2006).”
Seedling emergence, survival and size in relation to light and water availability in two bottomland hardwood species (2000, background): “Studies that separate the individual components and examine their interactions may indicate mechanisms of forest reestablishment (Grubb et al. 1996; Catovsky & Bazzaz 2000).”
Direct and indirect ecosystem consequences of an invasive pest on forests dominated by eastern hemlock (2002, background): “Birch dominates the seed bank in many hemlock forests (Catovsky & Bazzaz, 2000) because of its high annual seed production and extensive seed dispersal patterns (Matlack, 1989; Ribbens et al., 1994).”
Sapling size influences shade tolerance ranking among southern boreal tree species (2006, background): “1995; Catovsky & Bazzaz 2000).”
Regeneration of Treeline Birch (Betula utilis D. Don) Forest in a Trans-Himalayan Dry Valley in Central Nepal (2007, background): “Low seed germination and seedling survival have been confirmed by the experimental manipulation of light intensity available to seedlings; low light reduced seedling emergence of birch (Betula spp.) by 43%, seedling growth by 99%, and survival by 94% (Catovsky and Bazzaz 2000).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “Such positive feedback effects are seen, for example, in Quercus emoryi (Weltzin & McPherson, 1999) and Tsuga canadensis (Catovsky & Bazzaz, 2000) and can lead to local domination by the species.”
