Regeneration from seed affects species assembly in plant communities, and temperature is
the most important environmental factor controlling the germination process. Thermal …

In Amazon secondary forests are dominated by pioneer species that typically produce large
amounts of small and dormant seeds that are able to form a persistent soil seed bank. Seed …

O objetivo neste trabalho foi avaliar os aspectos ecológicos e aplicados da temperatura na
germinação de sementes de espécies arbóreas brasileiras. Foram analisadas informações …

Germination efficiency can be quantified using the optimal temperature and the temperature
limits for germinating seeds. Such estimates generally pertain to the earliest phase of …

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 …

Thermal time models may describe and compare seed germination, providing information
useful to explain species distribution. However, the capacity of such threshold models to …

Few studies address the ecology of herbs of Cerrado grasslands, which are ecosystems
where the long dry season, high temperatures, insolation, fire and invasive grasses greatly …

There is an increasing need to restore areas with native species, but there is scarce
knowledge about their germination requirements. Understanding the conditions for …

Seed reserve mobilization during germination of the Amazonian species Myciaria dubia
(camu-camu), Eugenia stipitata (araça-boi), Dipteryx odorata (cumaru) and Hymenaea …

In central Amazonian flood plains, seedlings after few months are submerged for up to 210
days every year. Among 31 analysed tree species, those from high levels in the flooding …
