Abiotic and biotic drivers of seedling survival in a hurricane‐impacted tropical forest (2009, background): “…to hurricanes may serve as a proxy for shade-tolerance and may therefore be a useful life-history trait for predicting species’ seedling responses to changing environmental conditions after hurricanes (Bellingham, Tanner & Healey 1995; Burslem, Whitmore & Brown 2000; Batista & Platt 2003).”
Long-term hurricane damage effects on tropical forest tree growth and mortality (2014, background): “2974 Kate, growth and mortality rates were higher or lower than pre-hurricane rates, depending on the tree species (Batista and Platt 2003).”
Intermediate disturbance in a late‐successional hemlock‐northern hardwood forest (2004, background): “Batista & Platt (2003) report greatly increased recruitment of shadeintolerant canopy species (particularly Liquidambar styraciflua and Pinus glabra) following hurricane disturbance, with mortality comparable with that caused by the Dukes storm, in a Florida, USA, forest.”
