Establishment and early persistence of tree seedlings in an annually burned savanna (2008, background): “2004) and by far less able to survive fire (Hoffmann 2000); their establishment success in the savanna is correlated to the amount of available water (Bowman & Panton 1993).”
Comparative growth analysis of tropical forest and savanna woody plants using phylogenetically independent contrasts (2003, background): “Indeed, first-year seedlings of cerrado savanna species exhibit high survival during this dry season, even when burned (Oliveira & Silva 1993; Hoffmann 2000; Kanegae et al. 2000).”
Strong facilitation in mild environments: the stress gradient hypothesis revisited (2010, background): “Even in tropical and temperate forests where light availability by treefall gaps plays a key role in the maintenance of species diversity, seedlings of the shade-tolerant species that characterize these forests may be unable to grow in larger gaps (Hoffmann 2000; Ganade & Brown 2002).”
What Limits Trees in C4 Grasslands and Savannas (2008, background): “In Brazil, experimental studies have shown that forest seedlings were killed by fire, whereas savanna seedlings survived fires (Hoffmann 2000).”
The invasive grass, Melinis minutiflora, inhibits tree regeneration in a Neotropical savanna (2008, background): “Considering that many, if not all, of Cerrado parks and reserves already suffer from the effects of exotic grasses, there is an urgent need to develop management practices that can slow or reverse their spread.”
Ecological thresholds at the savanna-forest boundary: how plant traits, resources and fire govern the distribution of tropical biomes. (2012, background): “Seedlings of forest species seem particularly vulnerable to fire (Hoffmann 2000; Gignoux et al. 2009), but once well established, most of the forest trees that invade savanna are to be able to resprout vigorously, at least after a single fire (Fensham et al.”
