PATHWAYS IN OLD‐FIELD SUCCESSION TO WHITE PINE: SEED RAIN, SHADE, AND CLIMATE EFFECTS (2005, methodology): “Moisture influences tree recruitment in exposed old-field environments (De Steven 1991a, b, Davis et al. 1999, Mitchell et al. 1999) and savannas (Higgins et al. 2000, Jeltsch et al. 2000), and white pine seedlings were positively related to moist seedbeds, even within the sheltered environment…”
Water and nutrients alter herbaceous competitive effects on tree seedlings in a semi‐arid savanna (2009, background): “In terms of resource availability, most studies agree with our results that savanna woody seedlings benefit from an increase in the frequency of watering and are negatively affected by wet-season droughts (Wilson & Witkowski 1998; Higgins et al. 2000; Kraaij & Ward 2006; but see Seymour 2008).”
