Rethinking species selection for restoration of arid shrublands (2009, background): “First, these species tend to 223 colonize disturbed, open habitats whereas late-successional species occur frequently in 224 less limiting sites (Peinado, Alcaraz & Martínez-Parras 1992; Pugnaire et al. 2006).”
Lessons from primary succession for restoration of severely damaged habitats (2009, background): “Many species require scarification (Pugnaire et al. 2006) or heat treatments.”
Hydraulic lift: soil processes and transpiration in the Mediterranean leguminous shrub Retama sphaerocarpa (L.) Boiss (2010, background): “In Rambla Honda R. sphaerocarpa covers 30% of the valley bottom ( Pugnaire et al. 2006 ).”
Variability in amount and frequency of water supply affects roots but not growth of arid shrubs (2009, background): “In this area, among the driest in Europe with less than 250 mm year"1 (Capel-Molina 2000), rainfall timing and amount greatly influence germination and seedling establishment (Pugnaire and Lázaro 2000; Lázaro 2004; Pugnaire et al. 2006; Padilla and Pugnaire 2007), but there is little information abo”
Morpho-Anatomical Traits for Plant Adaptation to Drought (2012, background): “Therefore, in arid regions recruitment occurs in restricted rainfall periods or in limited wet areas (Pugnaire et al. 2006; Padilla and Pugnaire 2007).”
