Prospects for fen meadow restoration on severely degraded fens (2010, background): “Litter addition also inhibits germination or establishment of species from the soil seed bank (Xiong et al., 2003; Eckstein and Donath, 2005; Donath et al., 2006, 2007).”
Effects of litter on seedling establishment in natural and semi‐natural grasslands: a meta‐analysis (2013, background): “The duration and frequency of dry periods, during which facilitative interactions are important (G omez-Aparicio et al. 2004; Eckstein 2005), is predicted to increase in the present global change scenarios (Ciais et al. 2005; Parry et al. 2007).”
Effects of bryophytes and grass litter on seedling emergence vary by vertical seed position and seed size (2010, methodology): “2000; Baskin and Baskin 2001) and relatively high temperatures for germination (Hölzel and Otte 2004) and thus show relatively slow, delayed germination (Eckstein and Donath 2005) may emerge later in the growing season after the cover of grass litter has diminished (Fig.”
Dominant species identity regulates invasibility of old‐field plant communities (2006, background): “However, litter can also promote seedling establishment by retaining soil moisture (Eckstein and Donath 2005) or protecting seeds from extreme environmental conditions.”
