Traits of recalcitrant seeds in a semi‐deciduous tropical forest in Panamá: some ecological implications (2005, unknown): “On slope sites, even in the dry season, the matric potential at the soil surface rarely falls below levels that are likely to inhibit germination (approximately −1·5 MPa) (Daws et al. 2002a, 2002b).”
Environmental signals for seed germination reflect habitat adaptations in four temperate Caryophyllaceae (2008, background): “ Daws et al . 2002; Van Assche, Van Nerum & Darius 2002; Pezzani & Montana 2006).”
Butenolide from plant-derived smoke enhances germination and seedling growth of arable weed species (2006, background): “In addition, the disturbance associated with the formation of vegetation gaps can result in soil nitrate levels increasing (Pons 1989; Daws et al. 2002).”
Functional significance of photoblastic germination in neotropical pioneer trees: a seed's eye view (2003, methodology): “2) has to be interpreted with caution because not all the data points are statistically independent, the comparison across the five species reported in this study plus the four pioneer Piper species from Daws et al. (2002) showed a significant positive relationship between a species' seed mass and i”
