AB: 

The ecophysiology of seed germination was investigated in representative post-fire species belonging to the families Leguminosae (Anthyllis vulneraria and A. hermanniae ), Convolvulaceae (Convolvulus elegantissimus ) and Cistaceae (Fumana thymifolia ). It is concluded that the effect of mechanical scarification on germination behaviour is by far the most important factor in comparison with various constant temperatures, diurnally fluctuating temperatures (simulating the natural conditions during the rainy season) and far-red ('canopy-like') irradiation.
