• Germination and seedling growth of five tree species from tropical dry forest in relation to water stress: impact of seed size (2004, background): “These have a better chance to enter into the soil easily than large seeds, and thus facilitate the build-up of a persistent seed bank (Khurana & Singh 2001a).”
• Ethiopian church forests : opportunities and challenges for restoration (2004, background): “In dry tropical forests, light and soil moisture jointly regulate tree regeneration (Rincon and Huante, 1993; Ray and Brown, 1995; Khurana and Singh, 2000; McLaren and McDonald, 2003).”
• Principles of Natural Regeneration of Tropical Dry Forests for Restoration (2006, background): “Also, because agriculture, especially pastureland with exotic grasses, is expanding and interacting with SDTFs, fires have increased in frequency over the last centuries (D’Antonio & Vitousek 1992; Khurana & Singh 2001).”
• Physiological ecology of seed germination for the columnar cactus Stenocereus queretaroensis (2003, background): “Eventual reduced germination may result from seed deterioration or from the onset of secondary dormancy (Baskin & Baskin, 1998; Khurana & Singh, 2001).”
• Temporal variation in the demography of the clonal epiphyte Tillandsia brachycaulos (Bromeliaceae) in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico (2004, background): “However, in tropical dry forests precipitation is less abundant and falls unevenly throughout the year, with a marked dry season lasting for a varying number of months, and wide inter-annual variation in yearly rainfall amounts (Khurana & Singh 2001, Medina 1995).”
