N2  - This book (11 chapters) presents an overview of seed ecophysiology and its role in shaping plant communities. Updated information on frugivory, seed dispersal, seed predation, light-mediated germination responses, chemical regulation of germination, and seed dormancy is provided. New chapter contributions include an overview of seed development, anatomy and morphology, the chemical ecology of seed persistence, implications of climate change on the regeneration by seeds, and the functional role of seed banks in agricultural and natural ecosystems. This book serves as a highly comprehensive review resource for new students of seed ecology and plant community regeneration, as well as an update for the more seasoned and experienced scientist
