Citations in the corpus

• Indirect facilitation and competition in tree species colonization of sub-Mediterranean grasslands (2006, background): “This finding may be critical for forest dynamics because, in midsuccessional habitats, herbs occur at high density, even under shrubs (Jurena & Archer 2003).”
• What Limits Trees in C4 Grasslands and Savannas (2008, background): “Jurena & Archer (2003) quantified heterogeneity of root biomass in a Prosopis savanna and the effect of different belowground gap size on Prosopis seedling growth and survival.”
• Direct and indirect effects of invasive species: Biodiversity loss is a major mechanism by which an invasive tree affects ecosystem functioning (2019, background): “Although Prosopis seedling survival is reduced by below-ground competition from native vegetation, it is able to colonize healthy grasslands (Brown & Archer, 1989; Jurena & Archer, 2003).”
• Safe sites for tree regeneration in wooded pastures: A case of associational resistance? (2005, background): “Others (Jurena & Archer 2003) report that above- and below-ground gaps in the grass layer were the main contributors to tree sapling establishment.”
• Tree–grass coexistence in savannas revisited – insights from an examination of assumptions and mechanisms invoked in existing models (2004, background): “Nonetheless, there remains a period of root overlap between older tree seedlings and grasses, representing a potentially critical limiting phase in tree establishment, which has largely been ignored in root nicheseparation models (Jurena & Archer 2003).”
• Positive feedbacks amplify rates of woody encroachment in mesic tallgrass prairie (2011, background): “Because grasses deplete soil moisture in the upper soil, this overlap results in high mortality rates until woody plants develop deeper roots (Scholes and Archer 1997, Jurena and Archer 2003, Bond 2008).”
