Ethiopian church forests : opportunities and challenges for restoration (2004, background): “In dry tropical forests, light and soil moisture jointly regulate tree regeneration (Rincon and Huante, 1993; Ray and Brown, 1995; Khurana and Singh, 2000; McLaren and McDonald, 2003).”
Principles of Natural Regeneration of Tropical Dry Forests for Restoration (2006, methodology): “McLaren and McDonald (2003c) cut stems 2 cm (diameter at breast height [dbh]) at 50 cm in height, and 14 months later they verified coppice shoots in 48 of the 51 sampled species (81% average).”
Effects of drought stresses induced by polyethylene glycol on germination of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica seeds from natural and plantation forests on sandy land (2006, background): “…factor may be the effects of severe drought stresses on plants in the sandy land, especially poor germination and seedling survival and establishment are regarded as the major causes of a lack of regeneration (Close and Wilson 2002; Kaufmann et al. 2003; McLaren and McDonald 2003; Zhu et al. 2005).”
