Specific Interactions between Local Metallicolous Plants Improve the Phytostabilization of Mine Soils (2006, background): “1995) where a nurse species protects another during the first development stages are particularly important in the Mediterranean region (Rousset and Lepart, 2000; Sans et al. 1998) and can be extended to experimental trials in phytostabilization.”
Restoring Quercus pyrenaica forests using pioneer shrubs as nurse plants (2006, unknown): “…consistently reported for Mediterranean type ecosystems, as for instance Q. douglasi, Q. lobata and Q. agrifolia in California (Callaway & D’Antonio 1991; Callaway 1992), Q. ilex in southern Spain (Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2004) or Q. humilis in grasslands of southern France (Rousset & Lepart 2000).”
Facilitation of Quercus ilex recruitment by shrubs in Mediterranean open woodlands (2008, background): “…compaction, increasing soil water content and reducing water stress, as was shown in Mediterranean forests (Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2005; Pulido & Díaz 2005), as well as by offering protection against browsing by ungulates (Bakker et al. 2004; Rousset & Lepart 1999, 2000; Smit et al. 2005, 2006a).”
Transient facilitative effects of heather on Scots pine along a grazing disturbance gradient in Scottish moorland (2006, background): “…of a facilitator can deter herbivores from a facilitated plant if the facilitator is mechanically defended, for example with thorns (e.g. Gómez et al. 2001; Kuiters & Slim 2003), or because of the chemical composition of its leaf tissue (e.g. Rousset & Lepart 2000; Oesterheld & Oyarzabal 2004).”
Inoculation with a Native Soil Community Advances Succession in a Grassland Restoration (2012, background): “Similar spatial processes have been described as a “nucleation model” of succession (Yarranton & Morrison 1974; Rousset & Lepart 2000; Franks 2003).”
Benefits of Using Shrubs as Nurse Plants for Reforestation in Mediterranean Mountains: A 4‐Year Study (2004, background): “Under such circumstances, tree seedlings surrounded by shrubs are protected from ungulates in the study area (García et al. 2000; Gómez et al. 2001a, 2003a; see also Callaway & D’Antonio [1991], Rousset & Lepart [2000] for other study systems).”
Ontogenetic shifts in interactions of two dominant shrub species in a semi‐arid coastal sand dune system (2009, background): “Such considerations are relevant to colonization processes because nurse species not only promote recruitment, but may also increase the fitness of beneficiary species (Rousset & Lepart 2000).”
Regeneration of a Mediterranean oak: A whole-cycle approach (2005, background): “Rather, seed, herbivore, and/or microsite limitation have been posited as causes of the regeneration failure commonly found in oak stands, especially after anthropogenic disturbances (Crow, 1988; Crawley & Long, 1995; Weltzin & McPherson, 1999; Rousseau & Lepart, 2000).”
Unpalatable plants facilitate tree sapling survival in wooded pastures (2006, background): “These results are in contrast to findings of others studies reporting reduced growth of tree saplings in the proximity of the nurse shrubs (Meiners & Gorchov 1998; Rousset & Lepart 2000).”
Impact of vertebrate acorn- and seedling-predators on a Mediterranean Quercus pyrenaica forest (2003, background): “Furthermore, herbivores can also hinder recruitment of plant species indirectly by specifically affecting the few seeds dispersed to the high-quality microsites (Callaway, 1992; Crawley and Long, 1995; Rousset and Lepart, 2000).”
Facilitation in multiple life-history stages: evidence for nucleated succession in coastal dunes (2003, background): “Many species are also known to function as ‘nurse plants,’ facilitating establishment of other individuals (e.g., Niering et al. (1963) and Rousset and Lepart (2000)).”
Inclusion of biotic stress (consumer pressure) alters predictions from the stress gradient hypothesis (2009, background): “…avoidance, associational defence or defence guild – while in the absence of consumers the net outcome of this interaction is predominantly negative (Atstatt & Odowd 1976; Hay 1986; Rousset & Lepart 1999, 2000; Bakker et al. 2004; Callaway et al. 2005; Smit, den Ouden & Muller-Scharer 2006).”
Shrubs protect oak seedlings against ungulate browsing in temperate broadleaved forests of conservation interest: A field experiment (2012, background): “In addition, thorny and prickly shrub species may provide shelter for certain plants against large grazers in pastures (Rousset and Lepart, 2000; Vera, 2000; van Uytvanck et al., 2008).”
Indirect facilitation and competition in tree species colonization of sub-Mediterranean grasslands (2006, background): “Previous studies (Rousset & Lepart 1999, 2000) have shown that Q. pubescens abundantly establishes in grasslands with scattered shrubs.”
