Background Anthropogenic climate change (ACC) will influence all aspects of plant biology
over coming decades. Many changes in wild species have already been well-documented …

Plant persistence and migration in face of climate change depends on successful
reproduction by seed, a central aspect of plant life that drives population dynamics …

Primula beesiana Forr. is an attractive wildflower endemically distributed in the wet habitats
of subalpine/alpine regions of southwestern China. This study is an attempt to understand …

Sensitivity to salinity during seed germination potentially serves as a niche specifier for
halophytes. Quantification of germination niche with respect to salinity, and any interaction …

Germination at low spring temperatures may offer a competitive advantage for the growth
and survival of plant species inhabiting temperate forest ecosystems. Pinus koraiensis is a …

The germination niche of plant species depends primarily on the seeds' responsiveness to
temperature and water potential. However, to appreciate future climate risks to natural …

Recruitment from seeds is among the most vulnerable stage for plants as global
temperatures change. While germination is the means by which the vast majority of the …

Functional plant traits are used in ecology to explain population dynamics in time and space.
However, because the germination niche is an essential stage in alpine plant life cycles and …

The seed germination of Helichrysum microphyllum subsp. tyrrhenicum, an endemic species
of Sardinia and Corsica with metal tolerance capability, was evaluated against zinc (Zn; 0 …

Abstract Background and Aims Environmental temperature regulates plant regeneration via
seed in several superimposed ways, and this complex regulation will be disrupted by …
