Abstract/Contents:"Seeds of eleven species of plants were germinated singly or in groups to assay the effect of density on germination. Literature reports on eleven more species are also considered. Of fifteen colonizing species, seven show a negative response, seven no response, and one (also grown as a crop) a positive response. Four of the six non-colonizing species and one forage species show a positive response. Reduced germination at high densities may be a population-regulating mechanism. Increased germination may increase the probability of survival of at least one individual at a favourable [favorable] site."
