Timing of seed dispersal and dormancy, rather than persistent soil seed-banks, control seedling recruitment of woody plants in Neotropical savannas (2011, result): “Although we have data for only a few species, our results suggest that, similar to seasonal moist tropical forests (Garwood, 1983; Sautu et al., 2006), the germination time of cerrado species could be controlled by both seed dormancy and timing of seed dispersal.”
Direct seeding of late-successional trees to restore tropical montane forest (2011, background): “Species effects As with previous studies (Bonilla-Moheno and Holl, 2009; Camargo et al., 2002; Engel and Parrotta, 2001; Hooper et al., 2002; Sautu et al., 2006) we found considerable differences in germination among species ranging from 90% for Garcinia to only 25% for Calophyllum.”
Climate change and plant regeneration from seed (2011, background): “In the nearly constant wetness of some rainforests, emergence is rapid following dispersal, presumably of nondormant seeds, or it is delayed, due to a warm stratification requirement (Baskin & Baskin, 1998; Sautu et al., 2006).”
