Unfortunately the final sentence in the Results section was omitted, and the full paragraph should read as follows. The author apologizes for this error.
The cause of mortality was identified for 96.4 % of dead seedlings, with a total of 862 seedlings dying from summer drought, pathogens or insect herbivory. The cause of mortality differed among irrigation treatments (
2=37.89, d.f.=1, P<0.0001; all microhabitats and cohorts pooled; seedlings death by insect herbivory excluded from analysis due to low sample size). Overall, irrigation reduced the mortality by drought and increased the mortality by pathogens. This trend was consistent among cohorts, with mortality by pathogens roughly doubling in the watering treatment in all cases except cohort 4 (Table 3). All growth parameters considered also had higher values for earlier cohorts except in one case (length of the largest leaf in open, watered treatment; Fig. 4).
