Multiscale assessment of woody species recruitment in Mediterranean shrublands: facilitation and beyond

Aim: Forest recovery in Mediterranean environments is influenced by factors such as aridity, herbivory and facilitation by shrubs, as well as by seed limitation in the case of highly fragmented forests. How these various factors interact can determine the direction of secondary succession, yet these...
