Abstract:The timing of germination is a key life-history trait in plants, which
is strongly affected by the strength of seed dormancy. Continental-wide
variation in seed dormancy has been related to differences in climate
and the timing of conditions suitable for seedling establishment.
However, for predictions of adaptive potential and consequences of
climatic change, information is needed regarding the extent to which
seed dormancy varies within climatic regions and the factors driving
such variation We planted 17 It… Show more
