Seed mortality
There were no differences between thermally affected or control location
seed mortality, nor were there any interactions to suggest that
thermally affected seeds had differing rates of mortalities at different
temperatures compared to control locations. Seeds experienced lower
mortalities at lower temperatures in both thermally affected and ambient
locations, with seed mortality being significantly lower in the 16 °C
treatment compared to the 28 °C treatments (11.02 % ± 0.91 % and 62.16
% ± 18.69 % respectively; (Figure 5; ANOVA; p < 0.001).
