Description

The effects climate change can have on germination are widely unknown. There could be little to no effect on regeneration from seeds; it could in fact promote seed germination, especially in arctic and alpine regions; it could inhibit dormancy break and thus prevent germination; or it could change the timing of germination in the natural habitat, which has profound effects on life history traits. Plant Regeneration from Seeds: A Global Warming Perspective comprehensively reviews the effects caused by climate change on global plant regeneration, growth and seed germination. Initial chapters discuss specific geographical regions such as steppes, the artic, boreal and alpine zones, dry and tropical forests and deserts. Subsequent chapters explore special seed-related topics like fire, soil seed banks, crops, weed emergence, and invasive species. Written by leaders in the field of seed germination and plant growth, this is an essential read for researchers and academics interested in plant growth, plant regeneration, seed germination and the effects of these in relation to climate change. Guides readers through the global effects of climate change on plant growth and seed germination, including chapters on special seed-related topics such as Provides fundamental research on plant regeneration Detailed coverage on specific geographic regions
