Fire has shaped the evolution of many plant traits in fire‐prone environments: fire‐resistant
tissues with heat‐insulated meristems, post‐fire resprouting or fire‐killed but regenerating …

Ex situ seed conservation aims to support species survival in the wild. This can be achieved
by contributing genetic material for reintroduction. The goals of reintroduction are to increase …

There is mounting evidence that much of the world's vegetation has been fire-prone since
the Upper Cretaceous, taking precedence over Cenozoic drought as a key agent of …

Southwestern Australia (hereafter referred to as the 'SouthWest')—defined as the area south
of a line from Shark Bay in the north to Eyre in the south-east—is unique among Australia's …

Revegetation of disturbed land, particularly in arid environments, is often hindered by low
seedling establishment. Information on seed biology and germination cues of keystone …

We evaluated dormancy loss in seeds of 14 Carex species (C. atherodes, C. brevior, C.
comosa, C. cristatella, C. cryptolepis, C. granularis, C. hystericina, C. lacustris, C. pellita, C …

The role of smoke in fire-stimulated germination in the Mediterranean Basin has often been
underestimated. A few records on smoke-enhanced germination are present in …

For rivers degraded by erosion and channel widening, the re‐establishment of riparian
vegetation is essential. We assess the potential for riparian seed banks to facilitate natural …

Context Seed dormancy is one issue hindering implementation of conservation actions for
rainforest species. Aims We studied dormancy and germination in Tasmannia sp. Mt …

The storage of seeds is a commonly used means of preserving plant genetic diversity in the
face of rising threats such as climate change. Here, the findings of research from the past …
