A field trial was performed to carry out an enhanced phytoremediation technique for multi-
metal contaminated copper tailings by Sudan grass (Sorghum Sudanese), ryegrass (Lolium …

Temporal constancy of pollination systems is essential for the maintenance of pollinators
through time. Community-level assessment of flowering phenology allows understanding …

Regionalization through the analysis of species groups offers important advantages in
conservation biology, compared to the single taxon approach in areas of high species …

The research aimed to evaluate the germination of seeds of four forage species present in
the Colombian Amazonian foothills, the speed of germination and the selection indices of …

Understanding the relationships between seed traits and germination responses is crucial
for assessing natural regeneration, particularly in threatened ecosystems like the seasonally …

Several ecological filters in deforested and degraded areas reduce seedling emergence
and establishment and hinder ecological restoration by direct seeding. Understanding …

Purpose Plant reproduction in metalliferous habitats is challenged by elevated
concentrations of metal trace elements in soil. As part of their survival strategy, metal-tolerant …

Forest restoration plans can benefit from knowledge of seed ecophysiology. Naturally, seeds
respond to environmental clues to trigger germination or persist in the seed bank …

We investigated Aspidosperma discolor fruiting in three subpopulations in the inland Atlantic
Forest of Northeastern Brazil, to better understand how local and global factors (such as the …

Background: Individual pioneer tree species often dominate early tropical dry forest
succession and thereby affect possible successional pathways. Mimosa acantholoba var …
