Shrub-oak seedling spatial associations change in response to the functional composition of neighbouring shrubs in coastal dune forest communities
Overview & Synopsis
Abstract•ContextThe abundance and distribution of tree regeneration is driven by several processes acting at both the seedling establishment and survival stages. Plant– plant interactions highly contribute to regeneration dynamics through seed dispersal and competition or facilitation processes.•AimsThe aim of the present study was to assess the relative importance of different functional groups of shrubs for the early establishment of oak seedlings in the coastal forest communities of south-western France.•Material and methodsWe applied spatial and non-spatial analysis methods in eleven 315-m2 regeneration plots. Within each plot, oak seedlings (height 50 cm and DBH
