Shrubs protect oak seedlings against ungulate browsing in temperate broadleaved forests of conservation interest: A field experiment (2012, background): “In combination with abiotic stress, such as low light availability, oak seedling mortality may increase after browsing (Baraza et al., 2004; Götmark et al., 2005a).”
Costs of constitutive and herbivore‐induced chemical defences in pine trees emerge only under low nutrient availability (2011, methodology): “method as in Baraza et al. (2004). The methanolic extract was mixed”
Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “It may also be associated with increased herbivory (Baraza et al. 2004) and greater competition for below-ground resources because dense above-ground vegetation also exploits below-ground space heavily (Valladares and Pearcy 2002).”
