Primula beesiana Forr. is an attractive wildflower endemically distributed in the wet habitats
of subalpine/alpine regions of southwestern China. This study is an attempt to understand …

Population shrinkage of alpine cushion plants with ongoing climate warming has been
empirically confirmed. Since cushion plants play important roles in sustaining alpine plant …

Timing of seed germination is directly related to the survival probability of seedlings. For
alpine plants, autumn-dispersal seeds should not germinate immediately because the cold …

Backgrounds and aims Germination timing strongly affects the probability of seedling
survival and the conditions for subsequent plant growth and reproduction. For alpine …

The timing of germination has long been recognized as a key seedling survival strategy for
plants in highly variable alpine environments. Seed dormancy and germination mechanisms …

This study looked at the medium term (5 years) dynamics of a sown, designed community of
uncompetitive rosette forbs in wet, seasonally anaerobic soils. Twenty-one species of wet …

Primula poissonii, an attractive wild plant growing in the subalpine/alpine region of
southwest China, has low seed germination in cultivation. This study attempted to improve …
