Seedling survival and fallen leaves

[VOLTOLINI]

Dear friends,

One of my students are studying seedlings abundances in a small Brazilian rainforest fragment and we are observing a possible correlation between seedling abundance and fallen leaves. Maybe, the leaves are shadding and damaging the seedlings.

Unfortunately, I cannot find articles about this subject and my university do not have access to many journals too.

Does anyone can help me? If you have articles about this subject, could you please send me?

Thanks for any help !!!
