Chapter 36.1, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The conditions that would help in breaking seed dormancy of species by fire.
Introduction:
A dormant seed refers to those seeds, which are unable to germinate in the given period of time under a combination of environmental facets, which are normally suitable for the process of germination of the seed. It is basically the mechanism, which helps in preventing the germination of the seed during the unsuitable conditions, which are when the probability of the seedling survival is minimal.
