Seed size and plant strategy across the whole life cycle (2006, background): “The larger, better provisioned seedlings associated with large seeds (Fenner and Kitajima 2000, Leishman et al. 2000) are expected to be at an advantage in situations where access to water or light increases with distance down or up from the soil surface, or in which seedlings are forced to rely on…”
Effects of topography on structuring local species assemblages in a Sri Lankan mixed dipterocarp forest (2013, background): “Changing habitat requirements with tree size may also be related with ontogenetic shifts in resource requirements such as light (Poorter et al. 2005; Comita, Condit & Hubbell 2007) or in physiological and morphological traits related to light capture (Kitajima & Fenner 2000).”
Shifts in the regeneration niche of an endangered tree (Acer opalus ssp. granatense) during ontogeny: Using an ecological concept for application (2008, background): “To a large extent, the abundance and distribution of plant species are determined during early regeneration stages, when seedlings and saplings are most vulnerable to their immediate environment (Kitajima & Fenner, 2000; Zoladeski & Maycock, 1990).”
Where do seedlings go? A spatio-temporal analysis of seedling mortality in a semi-arid gypsophyte (2008, background): “This is not surprising because the fate of seedlings will determine the structure and dynamics of most plant populations (Harper 1977, Kitajima and Fenner 2001), and because interactions with other plants are critical for seedling establishment, particularly in stressful habitats such as arid and…”
Dispersal strategies and spatial organization of vegetation in arid ecosystems (2008, background): “At these initial stages of plant life, environmental limitations can be especially constraining (Kitajima and Fenner 2000).”
Ecological strategies begin at germination: Traits, plasticity and survival in the first 4 days of plant life (2020, background): “The first axis cemented a firm link between seedling tissue construction and seed mass (small seeded species typically have thinner, efficient tissues, i.e. greater resource-acquiring surface area per mass; Maranon & Grubb 1993; Kitajima & Fenner 2000).”
Do shade‐tolerant tropical tree seedlings depend longer on seed reserves? Functional growth analysis of three Bignoniaceae species (2002, methodology): “Seedling mass data are from Kitajima & Fenner (2000).”
Irradiance and oak seedling survival and growth in a heterogeneous environment (2007, background): “Consequently, high mortality at this stage is extremely frequent in many plant species (Tripathi and Khan, 1990; Kitajima and Fenner, 2000; Gómez, 2004; Pulido and Dı́az, 2005; Gómez-Aparicio et al., 2005a).”
Establishment of tree seedlings in the understory of restoration plantations: natural regeneration and enrichment plantings (2016, background): “…older sites, the present seedling bank may be a result of the accumulated seed deposition of the last years or even decades, because shade-tolerant species may survive as seedlings in the forest understory for long periods, until small gaps are opened to favor their growth (Kitajima & Fenner 2000).”
Microhabitats shift rank in suitability for seedling establishment depending on habitat type and climate (2005, background): “The period between seed germination and seedling establishment is considered one of the most vulnerable transitions in the life cycle of plants and, consequently, it has long been a focus of ecological research (Harper 1977; Kitajima & Fenner 2000 ).”
Developmental changes in habitat associations of tropical trees (2007, background): “Multiple studies have demonstrated shifts in tree species’ light requirements from the seedling to adult stage (Clark & Clark 1992; Grubb 1996; Dalling et al. 2001; Lusk 2004; Poorter et al. 2005), as well as ontogenetic shifts in many physiological and morphological traits related to light capture ”
Direct seeding to restore rainforest species: Microsite effects on the early establishment and growth of rainforest tree seedlings on degraded land in the wet tropics of Australia (2006, background): “The deep burial of small seed under soil or litter layers has also been found to rapidly exhaust seed stored energy reserves before emergence is complete causing increased rates of mortality (Kitajima and Fenner, 2000).”
