Climate change presents many challenges for plants, a major one of which is the steady
increase in the temperatures that plants are exposed to during germination, growth and …

As urban crowding has increased globally, the construction industry has not
commensurately focused on environmental sustainability or the quality of urban life. In this …

Rapid environmental change is forcing populations into environments where plasticity will
no longer maintain fitness. When populations are exposed to novel environments …

Based on urban physical space and theory of landscape ecology, a triune assessment
framework—'size-density-morphology'—was constructed in order to analyze the spatial …

Investigations on seed biology and ecology are of major importance for the conservation of
threatened plants, both providing baseline information and suggesting practical approaches …

Rear‐edge populations at the warm margin of species distribution are small, isolated and
face environmental conditions at the limit of species bioclimatic envelope. Intraspecific …

Seed germination is a vital process in the plant life cycle. It directly influences seedling
establishment and subsequently determines population persistence and species …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding how plant species respond to extreme
conditions is crucial for predicting their ecological resilience under climate change. Here, we …

The increase in soil salinity, being a global trend in the actual scenario of environmental
changes, may represent a threat to the conservation of endangered plant species. The effect …

Understanding plant responses to temperature is critical for predicting their vulnerability to
global warming and for planning management responses. Germination is a key life‐stage …
