germination_water: Seed germination as affected by water

Description

Two datasets on the germination success of seeds of four Melaleuca species, when subjected to temperature, fire cue, and dehydration treatments. Seeds were collected from a number of sites and subjected to 6 temperature treatments and fire cues (in the fire germination data), or two a range of dehydration levels (in the water germination data).

This dataset contains the water treatment data.
