Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Failure of germination and survival on growing moss surfaces constrained recruitment.
- Observation Seedling survival was reduced in wetter microsites.
- Observation Seed influx was significantly lower in collapse scars but likely did not limit recruitment.
- Association Biological and environmental factor interactions tended to amplify recruitment limitation.
- Association Fast-growing mosses in wet microsites most strongly controlled seedling survival.
- Observation Apparent drowning in wet plots influenced seedling survival.
- Observation Herbivory influenced seedling survival.
- Observation Fungal pathogen foliage loss influenced seedling survival.
- Association Water table depth strongly controlled seedling growth.
- Association Nutrient levels strongly controlled seedling growth.
- Association Fungal pathogens strongly controlled seedling growth.
