Ecological limits to plant phenotypic plasticity. (2007, background): “…for each factor, further complicating the notion of ‘functional heterogeneity’ (sensu Li & Reynolds, 1995, i.e. the heterogeneity perceived and functionally relevant for a given organism), and the interpretation of the associated plant responses (Gómez et al., 2004; Gómez-Aparicio et al., 2005).”
Irradiance and oak seedling survival and growth in a heterogeneous environment (2007, background): “Among abiotic characteristics, reduction of irradiance has been emphasized as a main facilitation mechanism in Mediterranean-type ecosystems (Maestre et al., 2001; Gómez-Aparicio et al., 2005a).”
Where do seedlings go? A spatio-temporal analysis of seedling mortality in a semi-arid gypsophyte (2008, background): “…and dynamics of most plant populations (Harper 1977, Kitajima and Fenner 2001), and because interactions with other plants are critical for seedling establishment, particularly in stressful habitats such as arid and semi-arid environments (Maestre et al. 2003, Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2005).”
Facilitation of Quercus ilex recruitment by shrubs in Mediterranean open woodlands (2008, background): “Furthermore, increased contents of potassium were found under Genista versicolor, a comparable species endemic in the Sierra Nevada, which is supposed to increase drought resistance of surrounding plants (Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2005).”
Strong facilitation in mild environments: the stress gradient hypothesis revisited (2010, unknown): “…interacting species (Callaway 2007), their ontogenic stage (Miriti 2006;Nuñez et al. 2009), the indicators used to evaluate plant performance (Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2005), the type of stress factor (Kawai & Tokeshi 2007) and the magnitude of the stress imposed (Kitzberger, Steinaker & Veblen…”
Spatial patterns of recruitment in Mediterranean plant species: linking the fate of seeds, seedlings and saplings in heterogeneous landscapes at different scales (2008, background): “The limited nurse capacity of spiny deciduous shrubs has been reported elsewhere for seedling survival (Castro et al. 2004a; Gomez-Aparicio et al. 2004, 2005c ), and results shown here suggest that it also applies to the overall early recruitment cycle.”
