Does Restoration Enhance Regeneration of Seasonal Deciduous Forests in Pastures in Central Brazil? (2007, background): “…unlike moister forests, seasonal availability of water can limit seed germination and plant establishment (Gerhardt 1996; Cabin et al. 2002; Vieira & Scariot 2006), thereby limiting 1 Pós-Graduacão em Ecologia, Universidade de Brası́lia, Caixa Postal 04457, CEP 70919-970, Brası́lia, DF,…”
Successional Change and Resilience of a Very Dry Tropical Deciduous Forest Following Shifting Agriculture (2008, background): “1Corresponding author; e-mail: edwin.lebrija-trejos@wur.nl et al. 1995, Vieira & Scariot 2006) and we expect TDF succession to be equally heterogeneous.”
Changes in tree and liana communities along a successional gradient in a tropical dry forest in south-eastern Brazil (2009, background): “(ii) Succession pathways conform to the ‘initial floristic composition model’ (Egler 1954), as proposed by Vieira and Scariot (2006) and Sampaio et al. (2007).”
Pathways, mechanisms and predictability of vegetation change during tropical dry forest succession (2010, background): “Studies in TDF have proved that the establishment of mature-forest species is hampered by drought stress and that their seedlings survive better in shaded than in open sites (Vieira and Scariot, 2006).”
The lizard assemblage from Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest enclaves in the Cerrado biome, Brazil, and its association with the Pleistocenic Arc (2006, background): “…agriculture, the presence of timber species with commercial importance, and the low attention to conservation efforts give SDTFs the status of the most threatened tropical ecosystem (Janzen, 1988; Scariot & Sevilha, 2000, 2003; Sánchez-Azofeifa et al., 2005; Prance, 2006; Vieira & Scariot, 2006).”
Will seasonally dry tropical forests be sensitive or resistant to future changes in rainfall regimes? (2017, background): “establishment from seed (Vieira and Scariot 2006) to regenerating via sprouting (Swaine et al 1990, Imbert et al 1996, Dunphy et al 2000, Van Bloem et al 2003).”
Forest Regeneration from Pasture in the Dry Tropics of Panama: Effects of Cattle, Exotic Grass, and Forested Riparia (2009, background): “Coppicing is the primary mechanism of regeneration within abandoned pasturelands of dry forest regions (Ewel 1980; Murphy & Lugo 1986; Russell-Smith 1996; Kennard 2002; McLaren & McDonald 2003; Vieira & Scariot 2006).”
Timing of seed dispersal and dormancy, rather than persistent soil seed-banks, control seedling recruitment of woody plants in Neotropical savannas (2011, background): “…trees form persistent soil seed-banks is also consistent with studies done in seasonal dry tropical forests, which show that only a few pioneer tree species form persistent seed-banks (Putz, 1983; Marod et al., 2002) while most species form seasonal-transient seed-banks (Vieira and Scariot, 2006).”
