Under climate change, regeneration from seeds is becoming increasingly important for
species persistence, migration and conservation, especially in high-elevation environments.
In this regard, the ability of seeds to remain viable for a long time is a crucial prerequisite for
seed persistence in the soil and in germplasm banks. However, little is known about the
effects of climate warming on seed longevity of alpine plants. Here, we analysed the effects
of a moderately warmer parental growth environment generated by open top chambers on …
