A seeding experiment for testing tree-community recruitment under variable environments: Implications for forest regeneration and conservation in Mediterranean habitats (2009, background): “The total amount of water added approximates the amount from the torrential summer storms that characterize wet summers in Mediterranean systems (Castro et al., 2005a; Gómez-Aparicio et al., 2005).”
Large-scale recruitment limitation in Mediterranean pines: the role of Quercus ilex and forest successional advance as key regional drivers (2014, background): “…of light and nutrients, soil properties, seed rain and seed dispersal, seed masting, seed predation, nursery and inhibitory effects of shrubs, herbaceous-layer effects and grazing pressure (Castro et al., 2004; Gómez-Aparicio et al., 2005; Puerta-Piñero et al., 2007; Urbieta et al., 2011).”
Soil water content and emergence time control seedling establishment in three co-occurring Mediterranean oak species (2008, background): “, drought) is commonly reported to be the primary limiting resource of seedling establishment in the Mediterranean (Rey Benayas 1998; Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2005); however, here we found evidence of two seasonal water-related constraints primarily affecting seedling establishment: water excess in the”
Spatial patterns of recruitment in Mediterranean plant species: linking the fate of seeds, seedlings and saplings in heterogeneous landscapes at different scales (2008, background): “On the contrary, the reported consistent high quality of shrubs for Acer recruitment through time and ontogeny ( Gomez-Aparicio et al. 2005a, b) supports the accuracy of the large OPR values (second after Acer) obtained for this microhabitat and explains why sapling distribution in this species is s”
Facilitation of Quercus ilex in Mediterranean shrubland is explained by both direct and indirect interactions mediated by herbs (2010, background): “Therefore, the physiological results of this study provide a mechanistic explanation for the role that moderate shade plays in direct facilitation in dry environments such as Mediterranean ecosystems (Maestre et al. 2001; Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2005b).”
Mediterranean pine and oak distribution in southern Spain: Is there a mismatch between regeneration and adult distribution? (2011, background): “…spatial and temporal changes in environmental conditions (mainly light and water availability) that occur in heterogeneous Mediterranean landscapes provide relatively few ‘‘safe sites’’ for seedling establishment and survival (G´omez-Aparicio et al. 2005; Pulido & D´ıaz 2005; Pons & Pausas 2006).”
