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 …

Em florestas deciduais a dispersão de sementes ocorre principalmente na estação seca ea
germinação no início da estação chuvosa. O atraso das primeiras chuvas ea ocorrência de …

Aims In dry tropical forests, herbaceous species may have dormancy mechanisms and form
persistent and transient seed banks in the soil. Evolutionarily acquired, these mechanisms …

We examined the following hypotheses:(i) seeds of dry forest trees have high pre-and post-
germination mortality by desiccation due to the time between seed dispersal and …

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

Abstract Butia odorata (Barb. Rodr.) Noblick is a palm tree that grows in savanna‐like
formations in subtropical regions of South America, and whose regeneration is threatened …

Seed germination and seedling establishment patterns have been used to classify species
as shade tolerant or intolerant. The main objective of this research was to investigate, under …

So far data in the literature indicate that (1) the relative proportion of tropical species with
dormant versus non-dormant seeds tends to increase with a decrease in temperature and …

Abstract Background and Aims The relationship between fruiting phenology and seed
dispersal syndrome is widely recognized; however, the interaction of dormancy classes and …
