Relationships between productivity, number of shoots and number of species in bryophytes and vascular plants (2001, background): “Many studies have examined interactions among bryophytes (recently reviewed by Rydin 1997) and effects of bryophytes upon seedling emergence (e.g. Zamfir 2000) but very few studies have considered how the performance of the bryophyte layer is dependent upon structural properties of the vascular…”
Germination and seedling establishment of two annual grasses on lichen-dominated biological soil crusts (2007, background): “Moss-dominated, lichen-dominated, and mixed crusts differ in their chemical and structural characteristics and thus may have a different effect on seed germination (Belnap 2006; Zamfir 2000).”
Species richness of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens in dry grasslands: The effects of environment, landscape structure and competition (2006, background): “Some studies showed that a dense cryptogam layer may inhibit regeneration of vascular plants (DURING & VAN TOOREN 1990, VAN TOOREN 1990, ZAMFIR 2000).”
Germination and seed water status of four grasses on moss-dominated biological soil crusts from arid lands (2006, background): “On the other hand, the results indicating that germination on short mosses was significantly lower than on tall mosses contrast with studies showing a decrease in germination and seedling emergence with an increase in moss thickness (Cross 1981; Zamfir 2000; Sedia and Ehrenfeld 2003).”
Effects of Biological Soil Crusts on Seed Bank, Germination and Establishment of Two Annual Plant Species in the Tengger Desert (N China) (2005, background): “This may be due to decreasing evaporation of the soil surface in comparison with intact crusts (Li et al., 2004b), and because disturbed crusts facilitate soil-seed contact (Zamfir, 2000).”
