Multiple Effects of Introduced Mammalian Herbivores in a Temperate Forest (2002, background): “Several studies show that grazingresistant shrubs can have nurse effects on seedlings of many plant species (De Pietri 1992a; Raffaele and Veblen 1998; Kitzberger et al. 2000).”
Differing effects of shade‐induced facilitation on growth and survival during the establishment of a chenopod shrub (2003, background): “While the strength of the effects may vary with soil type and rainfall (Turner et al. 1966), seedling survival is almost invariably increased by shading (Turner et al. 1966; ValienteBanuet & Ezcurra 1991; Holzapfel & Mahall 1999), even at relatively mesic sites (Kitzberger et al. 2000).”
FACILITATION AND COMPETITION ON GRADIENTS IN ALPINE PLANT COMMUNITIES (2001, methodology): “…E-mail: philippe.choler@ujf-grenoble.fr Some experimental studies support this model in general (Walker and Chapin 1987, Bertness and Shumway 1993, Bertness and Hacker 1994, Greenlee and Callaway 1996, Callaway 1998b, Kitzberger et al. 2000), whereas others do not (Moen 1993, Olofsson et al. 1999).”
Are treelines advancing? A global meta-analysis of treeline response to climate warming. (2009, background): “Recruitment and survival are both highly sensitive to short periods markedly cooler or warmer than the general temperature trend (Kitzberger et al. 2000; Gray et al. 2006).”
Canopy vs. soil effects of shrubs facilitating tree seedlings in Mediterranean montane ecosystems (2005, background): “Far fewer studies have examined mechanisms enabling nurse relationships in other ecosystems and, in particular, between woody species (but see Kitzberger et al. 2000 and Rudgers & Maron 2003).”
Seedling recruitment, survival and facilitation in alpine Pinus uncinata tree line ecotones. Implications and potential responses to climate warming (2009, background): “Thus, in accordance with Kitzberger et al. (2000), the degree of facilitation may change through time as a function of climatic stress.”
Refining the stress‐gradient hypothesis for competition and facilitation in plant communities (2009, unknown): “Although the evidence for this is limited, competition may become important under high stress levels because amelioration of microclimate and soil conditions cannot make up for the water consumption of the benefactor (Kitzberger et al. 2000; Maestre & Cortina 2004).”
Microhabitats shift rank in suitability for seedling establishment depending on habitat type and climate (2005, background): “Emergence and survival could have been facilitated by several mechanisms, such as the reduction of radiation and soil desiccation ( Kitzberger et al . 2000; Schenk & Mahall 2002), production of litter that diminishes water evaporation losses (Evans & Young 1970; Fowler 1988), reduction of soil comp”
The role of nurse plants in the restoration of degraded environments (2006, background): “For example, Kitzberger et al. (2000) and Maestre et al. (2002) found no seedling establishment, either with or without nurse plant protection, during especially dry years.”
Rodent scatterhoarders as conditional mutualists. (2005, background): “Recent work in northern Patagonia has shown that establishment of the conifer (Austrocedrus chilensis) shows strong climatic variation in nurse dependence, with plant establishment dependent on nurse structures in years with moderate weather and independent of nurse structures in cool, wet years (Ki”
Recruitment patterns following a severe drought: long-term compositional shifts in Patagonian forests (2008, background): “# 2008 NRC Canada able to withstand prolonged extreme dry conditions under the shady canopy of nurse plants (Kitzberger et al. 2000).”
