Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Seed germination decreased progressively at lower water potentials.
- Intervention effect Approximately 90% of seeds germinated after transfer to Ψ = 0 MPa.
- Intervention effect Seedling relative growth rates did not differ between water treatments.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that the main regeneration niche is not caused by high seed and seedling sensitivity to water shortage.
- Mechanism Clusia hilariana has seed and seedling traits that may help establishment in harsh restinga environments.
