Differential seedling survival of early‐planted, late‐successional trees: Results from three forest restoration experiments Successful forest restoration starts early: Across three restored sites, late-successional trees (n = 1840) established well when planted at the same time as pioneers. A 2-m spacing maximized surviva....
