Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought? (2008, background): “Interspecific inheritance of phenotypic traits that facilitate drought resistance clearly occurs as shown in common-garden and ecotone experiments (VanSplunder et al., 1996; Volaire et al., 1998; Sack, 2004; Adams & Kolb, 2005; Engelbrecht et al., 2005), although the evidence is less clear for intra”
The role of desiccation tolerance in determining tree species distributions along the Malay–Thai Peninsula (2008, background): “Seasonal drought has been shown to influence seedling survival in dry, moist and wet tropical forests (Turner 1990; Green & Newbery 2002; Marod et al. 2002; Poorter & Hayashida-Oliver 2002; Engelbrecht et al. 2005, 2007a).”
Predicting field performance of five irrigated tree species using seedling quality assessment in Burkina Faso, West Africa (2009, background): “…water stressed and then weaned under shade to ‘‘harden them off’’ before transporting them to the field because in drier parts of the tropics such as semiarid West Africa, drought is the major environmental factor determining the establishment and growth of seedlings (Engelbrecht et al. 2005).”
Effects of water stress on growth, dry matter allocation and water-use efficiency of a leguminous species, Sophora davidii (2008, background): “The results indicated that soil drought limited growth and productivity of S. davidii seedlings under experimental conditions, consistent with reports for this dry valley (Wang et al. 2003; Ma et al. 2004 ;W u et al. 2008) and other arid ecosystems (e.g., Donovan and Ehleringer 1994; Niu et al. 20”
Seedling Traits Determine Drought Tolerance of Tropical Tree Species (2008, background): “Similarly, in Panama the drought survival of seedlings was a good predictor of species position along local and regional gradients in water availability; species with a high drought survival were more abundant on the dry plateau, and in drier forests (Engelbrecht et al. 2005, 2007).”
