• Drought effects on seedling survival in a tropical moist forest (2005, background): “Young seedlings in their first year of growth are likely to be the life stage most sensitive to drought in many species (e.g., Marod et al. 2002; Gerhardt 1996), because plants are small and have limited root systems, and thus do not have access to lower soil layers with higher water potentials.”
• The role of desiccation tolerance in determining tree species distributions along the Malay–Thai Peninsula (2008, background): “Seasonal drought has been shown to influence seedling survival in dry, moist and wet tropical forests (Turner 1990; Green & Newbery 2002; Marod et al. 2002; Poorter & Hayashida-Oliver 2002; Engelbrecht et al. 2005, 2007a).”
• Successional Change and Resilience of a Very Dry Tropical Deciduous Forest Following Shifting Agriculture (2008, background): “…temporal and spatial variations in propagule, water, and soil nutrient availability (Lieberman & Li 1992, Bullock 1995, Guariguata & Ostertag 2001, Marod et al. 2002), and predisturbance differences in composition and structure between stands, may explain the variation not accounted by time only.”
• Timing of seed dispersal and dormancy, rather than persistent soil seed-banks, control seedling recruitment of woody plants in Neotropical savannas (2011, result): “…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).”
