The species Baccharis dracunculifolia, known as alecrim-do-campo is very rough, of great economic importance, recommended for recovery of degraded areas, but is little explored by propagation through seeds. In order to ...

Seed germination in many species from fire-prone ecosystems may be triggered by heat shock and/or temperature fluctuation, and how species respond to such fire-related cues is important to understand post-fire regeneration ...

The invasive behavior of melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) plants in wetlands is due to its aggressive regeneration strategy, which is based on its seeds germination performance. Understanding of the eco-physiological ...

The effects of seed mass variation on germination percentage, mean time to germinate and light requirements for germination in seven Asteraceae species of Argentina were studied. Germination, mean time to germinate and ...

Cacti are conspicuous plants across arid and semi-arid ecosystems of the American continent and are currently under threat due to human pressures, such as habitat loss, illegal collection and changes in fire regimes. ...

Native desert plants have structural adaptations that maximize photosynthesis rates and minimize water loss. They can be successfully utilized as soil cover crops in drip-irrigated vineyards where water availability is ...

Identifying plant traits that promote invasiveness has been a major goal in invasion ecology. Germination plays a central role in plant life cycle and could therefore be a key trait in determining species invasiveness. In ...
