Interactions between seed functional traits and burial depth regulate germination and seedling emergence under water stress in species from semi-arid environments

Ecological restoration presents many challenges, particularly in semi-arid environments, where large volumes of seeds are required. Here, we hypothesized that two key seed functional traits, namely seed mass and speed of germination, would affect overall germination and emergence: heavier-seeded and...
