Exploring seed longevity of UK native trees: implications for ex situ conservation
UK trees require increased conservation efforts due to sparse and fragmented populations. Ex situ conservation, including seed banking, can be used to better manage these issues. We conducted accelerated ageing tests on seeds of 22 UK native woody species, in order to assess their likely longevity and optimize their conservation...Davies, Rachael M. ; Hudson, Alice R. ; Dickie, John B. ; Cook, Charlotte ; O'Hara, Tom …

Trade‐off between seed dispersal in space and time.
Seed movement and delayed germination have long been thought to represent alternative risk‐spreading strategies, but current evidence covers limited scales and yields mixed results. Here we present the first global‐scale test of a negative correlation between dispersal and dormancy. The result demonstrates a strong and consistent pattern that species with...Chen, Si‐Chong ; Poschlod, Peter ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Liu, Udayangani ; Dickie, John B.
