Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Seed size was related to seedling size in Olea europaea.
- Association Seed size was related to differential growth rate in Olea europaea seedlings.
- Association Seedling growth rate was negatively correlated with initial seedling size.
- Association Seedling survival differed between microhabitats.
- Mechanism The effect of seedling size on survival was partly mediated by its negative relationship with growth rate.
- Association The combined effect of size and growth on seedling survival varied between microhabitats.
- Mechanism Establishment of Olea europaea depended on microhabitats through facilitation and inhibition processes.
- Association Seed size-related growth rate strongly affected seedling fate.
