Seedling growth and survival studies

Promoting oak (Quercus pubescens Willd.) seedling development: interactions between canopy opening and competition with grass (Festuca ovina L.) under soil water deficit

This study examines how canopy opening and grass competition affect oak seedling development under soil water deficit, finding that grass competition reduces seedling success while optimal canopy opening improves light availability and mitigates water stress.

Planting set-up and local environmental conditions affect outcomes in tropical agricultural restoration

This study shows that planting setup and local environmental conditions significantly affect tropical agricultural restoration outcomes, with position within the margin and treatment interacting to influence survival, growth, and ecosystem functions.
