A continental-scale study of seed lifespan in experimental storage examining seed, plant, and environmental traits associated with longevity

Management of seed banks conserving the biodiversity of phylogenetically diverse species requires insight into seed longevity. This study determined the seed longevity of 172 species sourced from across the mega-diverse flora of the Australia continent. Seeds were aged via a controlled ageing experi...
