The role of climate and plant life-history traits as drivers of seed germination niches

The relationship between climate and life-history traits plays a crucial role in defining the ecological niches of plants. By examining the extensive information available in the literature, we can gain a thorough understanding of the factors that shape the germination niches of various seed plant species. Our goal was to explore the global impact of climate and life-history traits on the germination niches of plants using newly assembled, extensive data sets.
