Many tropical floodplain species show enhanced germination after submergence in annual flood waters. In this study, we tested seed germination response to time in water (ranging 2–84d) among Amazonian floodplain species. To test seed response to short-term saturation, seeds from ten flood-tolerant woody species were air-dried or placed in water (i.e., saturated) for 45h before germination. Germination...
