Seed ecology of the geophyte Conopodium majus (Apiaceae), indicator species of ancient woodland understories and oligotrophic meadows
Conopodium majus is a geophyte with pseudomonocotyly, distributed in Atlantic Europe. It is an indicator of two declining European habitats: ancient woodland understories and oligotrophic hay meadows. Attempts to reintroduce it by seed have been hindered by scarce seedling emergence and limited knowledge of its seed biology. Micro-CT scanning was...Blandino, C ; Fernández-Pascual, E ; Marin, M ; Vernet, A ; Pritchard, H

Hydrothermal thresholds for seed germination in winter annual forbs from old-field Mediterranean landscapes
Under Mediterranean climates with dry-hot summers and cool-wet winters, many forbs with potential for habitat restoration are winter annuals, but there is little information about their germination. We performed laboratory germination experiments on 13 ruderal dicots native to Andalusia (southern Spain). We measured the germination of recently harvested seeds from...Frischie, S ; Fernández-Pascual, E ; Ramirez, C ; Toorop, P ; González, M …
