| Abstract: | Aims Seeds of many invasive plants germinate more quickly than those of native species, likely facilitating invasion success. Assessing the germination traits and seed properties simultaneously for introduced and native populations of an invasive plant is essential to understanding biological invasions. Here, we usedTriadica sebiferaas a study organism to examine intraspecific differences in seed germination together with seed characteristics. |
