$\bullet$ Fine-scale spatial and temporal establishment patterns of direct-seeded oaks on abandoned agricultural land have been little studied despite their potential importance for long-term stand structure. $\bullet$ Here we periodically monitored seedling emergence and early growth of bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa Michx.) and red oak (Q. rubra L.) on an abandoned pasture, and tested the effects of herbaceous competition, rodents, and soil physicochemical properties. $\bullet$ Herbaceous competition slightly decreased diameter growth, but rodents had little impact on establishment. Red oak seedlings emerged earlier than bur oak and in a greater proportion (92% vs. 56%). Seedling emergence and early growth of both species showed significant ...
