Journal ArticleDOI

Range size, dispersal and niche breadth in the herbaceous flora of central England

TL;DR: In the British herbaceous seed plants studied here the best predictor of range was diversity of habitats exploited, and in this pattern was independent of phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seed dormancy in Carex canescens: regional differences and ecological consequences

TL;DR: The data did not support a proposed hypothesis that populations experiencing more severe winter conditions would require a longer cold-stratification period, and it is concluded that the relevance of detected differences in dormancy level among species or populations must be interpreted with great care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seed germination of gypsophytes and gypsovags in semi-arid central Spain

TL;DR: It seems patent that gypsum has acted interactively at the seedling and mature stages of these plants, but it has not forced different strategies at the germination stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental signals for seed germination reflect habitat adaptations in four temperate Caryophyllaceae

TL;DR: This study on dormancy breaking and germination requirements of the four Caryophyllaceae species enabled us to expose, sometimes subtle, differences in Germination requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initial temperature of seed germination as related to species occurrence along a temperature gradient

TL;DR: It is argued that including the Tmin in species distribution models may help to improve the accuracy and specificity of predictions of vegetation shifts under global change scenarios.
