- Observation All six fern species germinated at 33% to 77% after 15 months buried in soil.
- Intervention effect In situ storage yielded higher germination than refrigerated laboratory storage except in M. torresiana.
- Intervention effect At 10 cm depth, Cyathea divergens germinated more in open than closed forest.
- Intervention effect At 10 cm depth, M. torresiana germinated more in open than closed forest.
- Intervention effect At 10 cm depth, Lophosoria quadripinnata germinated more in open than closed forest.
- Intervention effect At 10 cm depth, Cyathea bicrenata germinated more in closed forest.
- Intervention effect At 10 cm depth, Parablechnum schiedeanum germinated more in closed forest.
- Intervention effect For three species, spores buried at 10 cm germinated more than surface spores.
- Observation The study found a persistent spore bank in tropical ferns.
