Effect of seed size and sub-zero imbibition-temperature on the thermal time model of winterfat (Eurotia lanata (Pursh) Moq.) (2004, background): “Tb can be below 0 ◦C in rangeland species (Hardegree and Van Vactor, 1999; Trudgill et al., 2000) and even in crop species (Ellis et al.”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “Among a sample of 31 British herbaceous species, the only Arctic alpine, Dryas octopetala, had the highest base temperature for germination (Trudgill et al., 2000).”
Humans introduce viable seeds to the Arctic on footwear (2012, background): “Furthermore, it is possible that seeds introduced today, capable of lying dormant in soil for many years (Thompson et al. 1997), may be capable of germination under future climates.”
