Lower dormancy with rapid germination is an important strategy for seeds in an arid zone with unpredictable rainfall.
Seed germination traits are key drivers of population dynamics, yet they are under-represented in community ecology studies, which have predominately focussed on adult plant and seed morphological traits. We studied the seed traits and germination strategy of eight woody plant species to investigate...
