Does plant-derived smoke affect seed germination in dominant woody species of the Mediterranean matorral of central Chile

2008-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Studies performed in the fire-prone Mediterranean-type climate shrublands of Australia, California, and South Africa have shown that plant-derived smoke enhances seed germination in many species. Unlike other areas with similar climate, central Chile stands out for the absence of natural fires, suggesting that smoke may not be expected to promote germination. However, anthropogenic fires have been frequent since s...
