Background Anthropogenic climate change (ACC) will influence all aspects of plant biology
over coming decades. Many changes in wild species have already been well-documented …

As we approach the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), there is renewed focus
on improving wetland restoration practices to reestablish the habitat and climate mitigation …

Assumptions about the germination ecology of alpine plants are presently based on
individual species and local studies. A current challenge is to synthesise, at the global level …

Investigating how seed germination of multiple species in an ecosystem responds to
environmental conditions is crucial for understanding the mechanisms for community …

Germination timing influences plant fitness, and its sensitivity to temperature may cause it to
change as climate shifts. These changes are likely to be complex because temperatures that …

Primula beesiana Forr. is an attractive wildflower endemically distributed in the wet habitats
of subalpine/alpine regions of southwestern China. This study is an attempt to understand …

Abstract Premise Astragalus (Fabaceae), with more than 3000 species, represents a
globally successful radiation of morphologically highly similar species predominant across …

Abstract Background and Aims Climate warming has major impacts on seed germination of
several alpine species, hence on their regeneration capacity. Most studies have investigated …

The ability of seeds to regenerate from soil seed banks has long been recognized as a key
survival strategy for plants establishing new niches in highly variable climates of alpine …

Temperature and salinity significantly affect seed germination, but the joint effects of
temperature and salinity on seed germination are still unclear. To explore such effects, a …
