Full Description


This new edition of a successful text, originally published in 1992, has been thoroughly revised and updated to include recent advances. In addition, new chapters have been introduced to ensure comprehensive coverage of all aspects of seed ecology. These include evolutionary ecology of seed size, the roles of fire and of gaps in regeneration and seedling colonization. Chapters are written by internationally acknowledged experts to give a comprehensive overview of all aspects of seed ecology which will be invaluable to advanced students and researchers in seed science and plant ecology.

Contents

Seed size; the ecology of seed dispersal; animals as seed dispersers; seed predators and plant population dynamics; longevity, viability and dormancy; functional ecology of seed banks; seed responses to light; role of temperature in germination ecophysiology; effect of chemical environment on seed germination; role of fire in regeneration from seed; ecology of seedling establishment; role of gaps in regeneration.
