Thermal Niche for Seed Germination and Species Distribution Modelling of <i>Swietenia macrophylla</i> King (Mahogany) under Climate Change Scenarios

<i>Swietenia macrophylla</i> is an economically important tree species propagated by seeds that lose their viability in a short time, making seed germination a key stage for the species recruitment. The objective of this study was to determine the cardinal temperatures and thermal time f...
