Question

First, based on the germination responses of these species, discuss what the principal factors acting on germination are in this community? (What type of community might this be?) Second, identify which germination pattern you conclude reflects Species 1, 2, & 3 from the previous question and why. How do the differences in germination characteristics within a community tell you anything about their ecological responses (what kinds of places/times) within the community? Discuss which species probably have transient or persistent seed banks (which mean what)? Because there is more than one "right" answer, defend your choices.

Explanation / Answer

Species 1 is cold dependent and light independent germination

Species 2 is the heat dependent and light independent germination

Species 3 is cold and light combination dependent germination, one of them could induce the germination at the low rate
