Do dormancy-breaking temperature thresholds change as seeds age in the soil seed bank?
TL;DR: This study provides the first test of changes to temperature thresholds, which increases the range of germination response from the seed bank under varying fire severity.
Assessing the storage potential of Australian rainforest seeds: a decision-making key to aid rapid conservation
TL;DR: Ordinal logistic regression of Desiccation response against environmental, habit, fruit and seed characteristics indicated that the likelihood of desiccation sensitivity was significantly increased by a tree habit, fleshy fruit, increasing fresh SMC and increasing PD-S.
Understanding seed dormancy and germination aids conservation of rainforest species from tropical montane cloud forest: a case study confirming morphophysiological dormancy in the genus Tasmannia

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied dormancy and germination in Tasmannia sp. and T. membranea, two tropical montane rainforest species threatened by climate change, to develop a better understanding of dormancy in the species and the genus.
