Seeds: Ecology, Biogeography, and Evolution of Dormancy and
Germination differs from all other books on seed germination. It is
an all-encompassing volume that provides a working hypothesis of
the ecological and environmental conditions under which various
kinds of seed dormancy have developed. It also presents information
on the seed germination of more than 3500 species of trees, shrubs,
vines and herbaceous species, making this a valuable reference for
anyone studying germination.
This book delivers information on characteristics of each type of
seed dormancy, how each type of dormancy is broken in nature, and
what environmental conditions are required for germination after
dormancy is broken. It explains how studies should be done to
distinguish persistent from transient seed banks, and covers which
species should be controlled, propagated, and conserved. Seeds
gives the reader insight and guidelines for doing ecologically
meaningful studies on the biogeography and evolution of seed
dormancy and germination in order to better understand plant
reproductive strategies, life history traits, adaptations to
habitats, and physiological processes.
