Ongoing changes in temperature and precipitation regime may have a strong impact on
vulnerable life-history stages such as germination, especially in alpine regions. Differences …

During stressful climatic periods, plant populations face significant challenges, especially
during germination and seedling establishment. Theoretical studies present conflicting …

The germination niche of plant species depends primarily on the seeds' responsiveness to
temperature and water potential. However, to appreciate future climate risks to natural …

Although number of studies exploring effects of climate change on plants is increasing, only
few studies pay attention to germination. Understanding of germination behaviour is …

Reproductive stages of life cycle are important for the explanation of distribution patterns of
plant species at different scales, due to their extreme vulnerability to environmental …

Plant regeneration strategy plays a critical role in species survival and can be used as a
proxy for the evolutionary response of species to climate change. However, information on …

Seed germination is a critical ecological process that governs both the establishment and
maintenance of plant diversity and is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. As climate …

Understanding how plant traits interact with climate to determine plant niches is decisive for
predicting climate change impacts. While lifespan and seed size modify the importance of …

Seed germination strategies vary dramatically among species but relatively little is known
about how germination traits correlate with other elements of plant strategy systems …
