Abstract: In tropical ecosystems, species with an impermeable seed coat, i.e. physical dormancy (PY), are large in number and their seed coat is considered to be an adaptive trait for species persistence and colonization. However, only… read more here.

Abstract: Physical dormancy enables plants that occur in temporally stochastic and harsh environments to survive; thus, within the distribution area of a species, the percentage of seeds with physical dormancy is expected to increase towards more… read more here.
