The Germination Performance After Dormancy Breaking of (Schltdl.) Benth. Seeds in a Thermal Gradient and Its Distribution Under Climate Change Scenarios.

Climate change models predict temperature increases, which may affect germination, an important stage in the recruitment of individuals in agroecosystems. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct research on how temperature will impact the germination of multipurpose native species. (Schltdl.

Potential Distribution of L. in Mexico according to Its Optimal Thermal Range for Seed Germination under Different Climate Change Scenarios.

is a native tree of economic importance, as its wood is highly demanded in the international market. In this work, the current and future distributions of in Mexico under climate change scenarios were analyzed according to their optimal temperature ranges for seed germination. For the present distribution, 256 localities of the species' presence were obtained from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) database and modelled with MaxEnt.

Quantifying Cardinal Temperatures of Chia ( L.) Using Non-Linear Regression Models.

Temperature is the main factor that impacts germination and therefore the success of annual crops, such as chia ( L.), whose seeds are known for their high nutritional value related to its oil. The effect of temperature on germination is related to cardinal-temperature concepts that describe the range of temperature over which seeds of a particular species can germinate.

Thermal Niche for Seed Germination and Species Distribution Modelling of King (Mahogany) under Climate Change Scenarios.

is an economically important tree species propagated by seeds that lose their viability in a short time, making seed germination a key stage for the species recruitment. The objective of this study was to determine the cardinal temperatures and thermal time for seed germination of ; and its potential distribution under different climate change scenarios. Seeds were placed in germination chambers at constant temperatures from 5 to 45 °C and their thermal responses modelled using a thermal time approach.
