Saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) in the Northern Great Plains: Seed Ecology and Cultural Considerations
… studies were conducted to 1) evaluate saltcedar seed ecology dynamics in a controlled growing chamber setting, 2) assess the seasonality of saltcedar seedlings in the northern Great Plains (NGP), and 3) to determine native Lakota cultural viewpoints of saltcedar and its impacts on the tribes in …

Poison hemlock (conium Maculatum L.) : biology, implications for pastures and response to herbicides
… areas. Research was conducted to determine seed ecology, growth characteristics and response to herbicides. Seed production, viability and germination of poison hemlock seed were measured. Dry biomass of poison hemlock was measured through time in the early spring in relation to plant …

Mediterranean Wild Edible Plants: Diversity, Conservation and Potential Use
… approach that integrates ethnobotany and seed ecology. The research led to the development of the first comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean WEPs and a detailed analysis of their in situ and ex situ conservation status in the Levant region. Subsequently, germination tests were …

The Role of Temperature in the Seed Germination Ecology of Mountain Springs and Fens
… groundwater. This thesis studies their seed ecology, focusing on the interaction between environmental temperature and germination. To this end we conduct laboratory germination experiments with calcareous spring fen species to characterize the temperature dimension of the germination …

Seasonal Movements of White-tailed Deer in Eastern South Dakota and Southwestern Minnesota Relative to Traditional Ranges and Management Unit Boundaries
… studies were conducted to 1) evaluate saltcedar seed ecology dynamics in a controlled growing chamber setting, 2) assess the seasonality of saltcedar seedlings in the northern Great Plains (NGP), and 3) to determine native Lakota cultural viewpoints of saltcedar and its impacts on the tribes in …

Resilience and recovery of plant communities facing increasing fire severity
… on recovery through recruitment from the soil seed bank. By establishing a greenhouse experiment, I observed how increasing fire severity reduced diversity in the soil seed bank. My fourth study examined post-fire recovery through seed dispersal. I monitored seed rain through collection from …

Ecological significance of seed traits in the genus Macaranga
… niche hypothesis, the transition from seeds to seedlings is critical in determining plant distribution patterns. This initial stage of recruitment may be strongly influenced by seed mass via effects on the sensitivity to light quality and soil moisture availability for germination, and …

A multi-scale exploration of the drivers and implications of germination strategy in Australian alpine plants
… largely be dependent on the ability of their seeds to germinate, establish and reproduce in situ, or after dispersal to new sites. The effects of climate change on regeneration from seeds may be influenced by intrinsic factors such as seed longevity (how long seeds remain viable and able to …
