- Intervention effect T. brasiliensis seedling survival under artificial shade was twice that of controls after one year, regardless of distance from the seashore.
- Intervention effect G. opposita negatively affected T. brasiliensis seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Artificial shade negatively affected T. brasiliensis seedling growth.
- Observation The nurse shade benefit for survival did not diminish as coastal stress declined.
- Recommendation The authors identify nurse plants and artificial shade as potential restoration techniques to improve transplant survival.
