Humidity and temperature interact in breaking physical dormancy in Fabaceae seeds from the Brazilian semiarid region
Abstract Premise In semiarid ecosystems such as the Brazilian Caatinga, physical seed dormancy (PY) is critical for plant persistence when water is unpredictable, but how soil moisture and temperature regulate PY release and seed longevity in species of native Fabaceae that have different growth forms is unknown.
