Spatial patterns of recruitment in Mediterranean plant species: linking the fate of seeds, seedlings and saplings in heterogeneous landscapes at different scales

2008-11-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Plant recruitment is a multiphase process that takes place in environments that are heterogeneous in space and time. In this work, I analyse how environmental heterogeneity in Mediterranean forests affects dynamics of early recruitment at different scales, using the wind-dispersed tree Acer opalus subsp. granatense as a case study. 2. Seed dispersal and viability, post-dispersal predation, seedling emergence an...
