Seed dormancy and the control of germination

William E. Finch-Savage, +1 more
- 01 Aug 2006 - 
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.

The ecology of seeds

Michael Fenner, +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

Seed size and plant strategy across the whole life cycle

Angela T. Moles, +1 more
- 01 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: The data suggested no relationship, or perhaps a weak negative relationship, between seed size and survival from seedling emergence through to adulthood, and it seems more likely that seed size evolves as part of a spectrum of life history traits, including plant size, plant longevity, juvenile survival rate and time to reproduction.

Plant traits as predictors of performance in ecological restoration

Richard F. Pywell, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2003 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 25 experiments concerned with species-rich grassland restoration on ex-arable land and agriculturally improved grasslands situated at a wide range of locations throughout lowland Britain found that species with generalist habitat requirements, and especially those associated with fertile soils, performed increasingly well with time.

Ecological aspects of seed desiccation sensitivity

John C. Tweddle, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2003 - 
TL;DR: The relationships between seed desiccation tolerance and two important aspects of plant regeneration ecology: habitat and dormancy are examined by comparative analysis of a data set of 886 tree and shrub species from 93 families.
