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 …

Canopy gap and chilling requirements for seed germination were assessed in 61 and 44
species, respectively, in the temperate rain forest of southern Chile. Germination assays …

In tropical dry forests, although seed germination and seedling establishment are in general
limited by the seasonal availability of water, high interspecific variability, nonetheless, exists …

Germination timing is determined by several plant life‐history traits. Seed dormancy
regulates the time and place of early plant development and spreads recruitment risks over …

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 …

This review includes data on classes of seed dormancy, or of nondormancy, for 2040
species of trees in climax tropical forests: evergreen, 1098; semievergreen, 515; deciduous …

Environmental conditions experienced by mother plants determine germination patterns.
Here, we investigated the germination ecology of Miconia albicans (Melastomataceae), a …

By linking phenological patterns not only to climatic factors but also to plant functional traits
we may gain a better understanding of plant community function and assembly. While …

Germination provides many potentially unrecognized sources of variation in the
regeneration niche. In this study we relate germination requirements and seed size for 16 …

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 …
