Seed ageing, survival, and the improved seed viability equation; forty years on [PDF]
, 2022 Seed Science and Technology published ‘The quantification of ageing and survival in orthodox seeds’ four decades ago. That paper explained the improved seed viability equation, which quantifies seed longevity in response to storage environment, and the ...

Ecología Austral, 2013 Small-scale habitat specificity by frugivorous birds might affect their patterns of use of space and, consequently, may influence the range of habitats over which seeds are disseminated.

Seed rain beneath remnant trees in a slash-and-burn agricultural system in southern Cameroon
, 2002 On clearing fields, Ntumu farmers in southern Cameroon leave some large trees. The seed rain beneath 30 such remnant trees (12 species) was compared with that 10 m away from the edges of their crowns.

Inter- and intra-annual patterns of seed rain in the black spruce stands of Quebec, Canada
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017 Divergent reproductive strategies of tree species generate differences in the dynamics of seed production and dispersion. The spatial and temporal variability in seed rain abundance and viability was monitored during the period 2000-2007 in four boreal ...

Effects of overstory tree species and seed trap design on seed rain in a tropical rainforest [PDF]
, 2001 Tropical rainforests maintain a high diversity of plant species, but the community assembly mechanisms by which this occurs are unclear. We hypothesized that individual overstory tree species could filter seed rain differentially, owing to differences in

Seed Rain in Abandoned Clearings in a Lowland Evergreen Rain Forest in Southern Thailand
Tropical Conservation Science, 2014 Some forest restoration techniques treat remnant shrubs as competitors of newly planted tree seedlings, often clearing shrubs and weeds before trees are planted, but such plants may have significant value in attracting seed dispersers. In this study we examined the role of remnant trees and shrubs in grassland as a tool for passive and low cost ...

CHUVA DE SEMENTES E ESTABELECIMENTO DE PLÂNTULAS EM FLORESTA TROPICAL NA REGIÃO NORDESTE DO BRASIL
Ciência Florestal, 2018 Mechanisms of natural regeneration are fundamental for ecological function restoration in forest fragments and degraded areas. The present work aimed to evaluate the seed rain and the establishment of seedlings of arboreal species in the Atlantic Forest,
