• Biological Flora of the British Isles: Juniperus communis L. (2007, background): “Nevertheless, García (2001) noted that only 3.6–5.5% of dispersed seeds were viable.”
• Microhabitats shift rank in suitability for seedling establishment depending on habitat type and climate (2005, background): “We identified four microhabitat types (i.e. distinct homogeneous patches of habitat ranging from < 1 m to several metres in diameter; García 2001): Maple, under the canopy of adult maples; Canopy, under the canopy of non-conspecific adult trees together with shrubs > 1.”
• Impact of vertebrate acorn- and seedling-predators on a Mediterranean Quercus pyrenaica forest (2003, background): “It is noticeable that the main cause of mortality was ungulates trampling, whereas the summer drought, an important mortality factor for seedlings of many Mediterranean woody plants (Herrera et al., 1994; Castro et al., 1999; Rey and Alcántara, 2000; Garcı́a, 2001), was not important for Q.”
• Spatial concordance between seed rain and seedling establishment in bird‐dispersed trees: does scale matter? (2005, background): “Spatial patterns of recruitment largely depend on the initial template established by seed dispersal, but are also influenced by successive post-dispersal factors such as seed predation, germination and seedling mortality (Herrera et al. 1994; Nathan et al. 2000; Wenny 2000; Garcia 2001).”
• Patterns of resource tracking by avian frugivores at multiple spatial scales: two case studies on discordance among scales (2004, background): “Juniper bears berrylike cones containing 1 /3 seeds, which are consumed by a small assemblage of frugivorous thrushes, mainly Turdus torquatus L. and T. viscivorus L. (Zamora 1990, Jordano 1993, Garcı́a 2001).”
• Herbivory influences tree lines (2004, background): “1999), and analogs from other ecotones indicate that seed predation is a factor in limiting migration (Garcia 2001; Muñoz & Arroyo 2002).”
• Seedling establishment of a boreal tree species (Pinus sylvestris) at its southernmost distribution limit: consequences of being in a marginal Mediterranean habitat (2004, background): “Spatial heterogeneity may exert a varying influence upon different stages of recruitment, giving rise to conflicts of regeneration that change microhabitat suitability (Harper 1977; Jordano & Herrera 1995; Schupp 1995; García 2001).”
• Alleviation of Summer Drought Boosts Establishment Success of Pinus sylvestris in a Mediterranean Mountain: An Experimental Approach (2005, background): “The resulting drought periods bring major stress for plants (Mooney 1983), and limit recruitment by the high seedling mortality ascribed to dryness in these environments (Dunne and Parker 1999; Garcı́a 2001; Castro et al. 2002a, 2004a).”
• Spatial patterns of recruitment in Mediterranean plant species: linking the fate of seeds, seedlings and saplings in heterogeneous landscapes at different scales (2008, background): “We identified 4–7 microhabitats per site, a microhabitat being defined as a distinct homogeneous patch of habitat ranging from < 1 m to several meters in diameter (Russell & Schupp 1998; García 2001).”
