Species partitioning and patterns of germination
The formation of zonal communities may be attributed to differences in germination across zonal communities for different species. However, Carter and Ungar (pp. 119-125) show that partitioning of salt marsh species is not determined at the germination stage of development. Seed dormancy and germination patterns of Spergularia marina are discussed.
