Abstract Carapa guianensis Aubl.(Meliaceae), a hard wood tree from the Brazilian Amazon,
has large recalcitrant seeds that can germinate and establish in both flood-free (terra-firme) …

Fragmentation and degradation of the cerrado Biome has stimulated the researchers to ask
some questions. Are the species of the remaining original areas able to produce viable and …

SUMMARX Some species developed mechanisms to keep their seeds in the fruits at the
mother plant after maturity, thus forming an aerial seed bank. The species can be called …

In tropical dry forests (TDFs), anemochory is usually reported as the most common seed
dispersal syndrome (Bullock 1995; Nunes et al. 2012). The period of dispersal for these …

Due to the economic importance of wood production, species including Cedrela fissilis Vell.
