Climate change and bet‐hedging: interactions between increased soil temperatures and seed bank persistence (2009, background): “…applied to overcome physiological dormancy in seeds from arid zone regions (also called ‘after-ripening’) (Baskin & Baskin, 1998), heat has usually been applied to physically dormant seeds in bursts of minutes rather than over periods of months (e.g. Auld & O’Connell, 1991; Thomas et al., 2003).”
Germination behaviour of 14 Mediterranean species in relation to fire factors: smoke and heat (2009, background): “This is a factor that has been widely studied in Australian species (Dixon et al. 1995; Morris et al. 2000; Read et al. 2000; Thomas et al. 2003; Tierney 2006), South African species (Van der Venter and Esterhuizen 1988; De Lange and Boucher 1990; Brown 1993; Brown and Botha 2004), and North Ameri”
How much seed remains in the soil after a fire? (2006, background): “The nature of the interaction between the heat and smoke cues and their relative abilities to penetrate down the soil profile will influence the response from the seed bank (Kenny 2003; Thomas et al. 2003 ) (Figure 5). Where the cues are obligatory (both required for a response) or synergistic, a d”
