A Geographical Perspective on Germination Ecology: Tropical and Subtropical Zones

摘要: This chapter illustrates what is known about the germination ecology of plants growing in various types vegetation throughout world. To facilitate organization mass literature, classification system zones has been adopted as a general outline. Vegetation divided into two broad categories, such tropical and subtropical zones, next, temperate arctic zones. discusses whereas 10 deals with species The each these four well that on mountains covered. For type vegetation, detailed discussion along summary trees, shrubs, vines, herbaceous made available. Weeds are also considered, attention given to special biotic abiotic factors influencing germination. Although environmental conditions associated shade forest floor required for some seeds, may be favorable growth seedlings juveniles. Many canopy, emergent, tree require gap thus, an increase light, before young individuals can grow maturity.
