Is Direct Seeding a Biologically Viable Strategy for Restoring Forest Ecosystems? Evidences from a Meta‐analysis (2016, background): “Furthermore, large seeds confer seedlings with a competitive advantage (Turnbull et al., 1999, 2004) particularly in systems that Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. have become covered by grasses (41% of direct-seeding cases, Figure 1).”
Differential genetic influences on competitive effect and response in Arabidopsis thaliana (2005, background): “The data are, however, consistent with the idea that competitive ability itself is a plant trait (Turnbull et al. 2004) and that those plants that are strong competitors for one resource will also be strong competitors for other resources (Grime 2001).”
Dispersion of traits related to competitive ability in an old‐field plant community (2007, background): “1996), with the potential for species-specific patterns of aggregation driven by factors including environmental patchiness, variation in seed shadow (Willson 1993; Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000), and clonal strategy (Lovett Doust 1981; Pauliukonis & Gough 2004), strong interspecific competition (Turn”
Impact of abundance weighting on the response of seed traits to climate and land use (2008, background): “Thompson et al . 1998; Moles et al . 2005) and the colonization/competition trade-off (e.g. Turnbull et al . 2004 ).”
Can limiting similarity increase invasion resistance? A meta‐analysis of experimental studies (2013, background): “Grouping species into functional groups assumes within-group equivalence (Hubbell 2005), but competitive hierarchies within groups have also been found (Turnbull et al. 2004, 2005).”
