With the aim of providing information for ecological restoration programs, we studied
reproductive phenology and seed germination of eight species from the tropical dry forest of …

The propagation in nurseries of native plant species potentially useful for agroforestry,
silvopastoral and restoration programs is hindered by an inadequate supply of high quality …

This study quantified various aspects of the seed biology of 100 tree species native to the
seasonal moist tropical forest in the Panama Canal Watershed. Species were selected for …

Studies on propagation of trees of Tropical Dry Forests are scarce in Mexico; besides, the
provenance of seeds used in reforestation programs is generally unknown or poorly …

Table 1. Mean (±SD) tree canopy and ground cover, surface soil temperature (daily
maximum and minimum), and light (photosynthetically active radiation-PAR values were …

Deforestation and elimination of reproductive adult trees in Mexican tropical montane cloud
forest (TMCF), due to traditional selective logging, threaten the maintenance of more than …

Seed germination in the seasonal tropical forest on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, was
studied at the community level to (1) determine the seasonal timing of germination of the …

The thesis summarises results from four studies in dry forests of Nicaragua aiming to gain
knowledge supporting conservation and rehabilitation efforts in these highly threatened …

Delayed seed germination ('dispersal in time'), as a component of a plant's germination
strategy, was studied in dicotyledoneous species of a temperate rainforest flora in Chiloé …

To design conservation strategies, the extent of plant richness of tropical forests needs to be
characterized in terms of their seed longevity. In this study, we examined the potential seed …
