Ecological significance of seed desiccation sensitivity in Quercus ilex.

Annals of botany - 1 Apr 2013

Joët Thierry, Ourcival Jean-Marc, Dussert Stéphane

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Several widespread tree species of temperate forests, such as species of the genus Quercus, produce recalcitrant (desiccation-sensitive) seeds. However, the ecological significance of seed desiccation sensitivity in temperate regions is largely unknown. Do seeds of such species suffer from drying during the period when they remain on the soil, between shedding in autumn and the return of...
