Establishment patterns of saguaro cactus (<i>Carnegiea gigantea</i>) at the microsite scale help explain saguaro regeneration and distributions in heterogenous, regional habitats
Microsite characteristics help explain patterns in saguaro regeneration. Our results suggest that microsite characteristics be considered in future studies of the saguaro. Our findings will be useful for conservation, restoration, and management of saguaro populations.
