Journal Article
Corrigendum: Little evidence for fire-adapted plant traits in Mediterranean climate regions
TL;DR: In the light of major threats to biodiversity conservation, this opinion article recommends caution in deliberately increasing fire frequencies if ecosystem degradation and plant extinctions are to be averted as a result of the practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validating the Impact of Water Potential and Temperature on Seed Germination of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) via Hydrothermal Time Model
Saleha Saeed,Abd Ullah,Sami Ullah,Javaria Noor,Baber Ali,Muhammad Numan Khan,M. T. Hashem,Y. Mostafa,Saad Alamri +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a study was conducted to find both T and ψ effects on wheat germination and the cardinal Ts value; a lab experiment was accomplished using HTT models, and the average of cardinal Ts was 15, 20, and 35 °C for the Tb, To, and Tc, respectively, in the control condition (0 MPa).
Journal ArticleDOI
Fire‐released seed dormancy ‐ a global synthesis
Juli G. Pausas,Byron B. Lamont +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a wide range of fire-related germination experiments for species in different ecosystems across the globe were conducted and the authors identified four dormancy syndromes: heat-released (physical) dormancy, smoke-released, non-fire-released and non-dormancy.
Dissertation
Studies on site characteristics, natural regeneration status and nursery techniques of hazelnut (corylus colurna l.) in himachal pradesh
TL;DR: In this paper, a study on site characteristics, natural regeneration status and nursery techniques of hazelnut (Corylus colurna L.) was carried out in the Department of Silviculture and Agroforestry, Nauni, Solan, India, during 2011-2013.
Journal ArticleDOI
Julian Chela-Flores: The Science of Astrobiology: A Personal View on Learning to Read the Book of Life (Cellular Origin, Life in Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology)
TL;DR: This book offers a very rare occasion to access the full dimension of astrobiology: origin, evolution, distribution and destiny of life in the Universe.

Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the Ecosystem Concept is used to describe the Earth's Climate System and Geology and Soils, and the ecosystem concept is used for managing and sustaining ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dormancy and the control of germination
TL;DR: It is argued that adaptation has taken place on a theme rather than via fundamentally different paths and similarities underlying the extensive diversity in the dormancy response to the environment that controls germination are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
A classification system for seed dormancy
Jerry M. Baskin,Carol C. Baskin +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a modified version of the scheme of the Russian seed physiologist Marianna G. Nikolaeva be adopted and includes three hierarchical layers – class, level and type; thus, a class may contain levels and types, and a level may contain only types.
Book
The ecology of seeds
Michael Fenner,Ken Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: This work has shown clear trends in the dispersal and regeneration of seeds in disturbed areas, and these trends are likely to continue into the next decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exotic plant species as problems and solutions in ecological restoration : A synthesis
TL;DR: The types of effects exotic species may have that are important during restoration and research that could increase the ability to set realistic management goals are reviewed and generalizations emerging from the invasion ecology literature are linked.
