- Observation Precipitation was similar in 2019 and 2020, both below 2021.
- Observation Soil water content did not differ significantly between gaps I and II; both were lower than gap III.
- Observation Seedling emergence ranked gap II above III above I, with gap I nearly zero.
- Association Large seeds had higher emergence than small seeds.
- Association Medium seeds had higher emergence than small seeds.
- Association Gap II seedlings exceeded gap III seedlings in height, ground diameter, and diameter growth rate.
- Association Large seeds produced the highest ground diameter, diameter growth rate, and biomass.
- Association Large seeds produced the highest root mass ratio, root shoot ratio, and root surface area.
- Association Seedling biomass correlated positively with root surface area and volume.
- Association Seedling biomass correlated negatively with specific root length and surface area.
