• Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “Sometimes seeds are planted directly into the ground (Camargo et al. 2002; Jinks et al. 2006; Valkonen 2008; Wallin et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2011); this can be a relatively cheap way of establishing a plantation.”
• Direct seeding of late-successional trees to restore tropical montane forest (2011, background): “Camargo et al. (2002) reported that larger-seeded pecies could grow on degraded, bare ground and in pasture, but hat seedlings survived less well in successional and mature forst in the Central Amazon.”
• Direct seeding to restore rainforest species: Microsite effects on the early establishment and growth of rainforest tree seedlings on degraded land in the wet tropics of Australia (2006, background): “Investigations into how direct seeding might be applied to degraded land in tropical and sub-tropical rainforest regions are limited, even though the technique may have some significant cost advantages (Engel and Parrotta, 2001; Camargo et al., 2002; Sun and Dickinson, 1995; Vanderwoude et al., 1996”
• Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “Direct seeding has proven to be a successful, low-cost alternative to growing and outplanting seedlings for some species (Engel and Parrotta, 2001; Camargo et al., 2002; Madsen and Löf, 2005; Dodd and Power, 2007; Doust et al., 2008; Cole et al., 2011), as long as it is done properly (Bullard et…”
• Is Direct Seeding a Biologically Viable Strategy for Restoring Forest Ecosystems? Evidences from a Meta‐analysis (2016, background): “The main advantages of direct seeding are the ability to sow large areas rapidly by hand or with broadcasting machinery and lower cost (around 50% according to Het, 1983) compared with transplanting seedlings (Engel & Parrotta, 2001; Camargo et al., 2002).”
• Does Restoration Enhance Regeneration of Seasonal Deciduous Forests in Pastures in Central Brazil? (2007, background): “Morong and Guazuma ulmifolia Lam. may remain viable in the soil and germinate in the future (Nepstad et al. 1996; Zimmerman et al. 2000; Camargo et al. 2002), but other species may have germinated and the seedlings died during the dry season (Cabin et al. 2002).”
