Abstract:
Ectomycorrhizae formation, seedling health index, and seedling survival were assessed for two-year-old nursery-grown seedlings of Pinus resinosa and Pinus strobus two months after planting in clear-cuts that had received prescribed burning under different fire intensities. Controls consisted of seedlings planted in unburned clear-cuts. Fire intensity positively correlated with percent ectomycorrhizal roots for P. strobus but not for P. resinosa. Seedling health index and survival were highest in burned-over sites as compared to control sites for both pine species. Fire intensity correlated wit

Greenhouse studies were conducted to determine the effects of partial removal of endosperm or cotyledons from seeds of seven dune species on seed germination, seedling emergence, seedling size, and dry matter allocation. Different proportions (0, 30, and 60%) were surgically removed from seeds of Agropyron psammophilum, Calamovilfa longifolia, Elymus canadensis, Leymus arenarius, Panicum virgatum, Lupinus perennis, and Strophostyles helvola. Partial removal of seed reserves caused a significant reduction in seedling variables 1 or 2 weeks after planting in sand. For example, seedling height, l

Seedling density, measured as the number of conspecific neighboring seedlings within a 50 cm radius of the target seedling, ranged between 0 and 19. There were no significant correlations between seedling height, canopy openness, and seedling density. Multiple regression analysis sh

Following the 1995 mast year, we conducted detailed seedling demography surveys to characterize some ecological factors affecting germination and early establishment in understory balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.)

Twenty-five seed traps paired with 32 demography subplots were located in each of four permanent plots and regularly monitored over a 2-year period. Spatial patterns of newly emerged seedlings generally corresponded to those found for seed dispersal. However, at the end of

Research on polyembryony suggests that the presence of multiple embryos in a seed confers an advantage for seedling survival. Because observations from embryo to seedling stages are lacking, however, the effect of the exact number of embryos on seedling survival is unclear.

ABSTRACTThe effects of herbivory by the leaf-cutting antAtta laevigataFr. Smith on the re-establishment of forest trees in an abandoned farm near Manaus, central Amazonia, were investigated.

However, excluding leaf-cutting ants from experimental plots for 20 mo did not significantly increase tree seedling densities.

Goosegrass is considered one of the most important grassy weeds of rice, particularly in rain-fed environments. Experiments were conducted in laboratory, screenhouse, and field to study the germination ecology of goosegrass seeds. In the laboratory, germination was greater at higher alternating temperatures (30/20 and 35/25 C) than at the lowest alternating temperatures (25/15 C). An after-ripening period of at least 3 mo was required to improve the germination of goosegrass. Germination was tolerant of salt stress but sensitive to a high degree of water stress.

A split-plot design was used to determine if maltol could reduce seedling infection by Endocronartiumharknessii. Whole plots consisted of two inoculum levels (7 or 30 mg of spores per tray of seedlings) and subplots consisted of four levels of maltol (0, 2, 10, or 40 mg/mL) applied 2

There is currently a decline in large, old trees within many ecosystems where they play important ecological and economic roles. One ecosystem suffering from this decline is the bushveld savanna of South Africa. One particularly important species in decline is the ecologically, economically, and culturally significant marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra). This species’ decline is characterized by a steep drop in recruitment of seedlings into the population.

Sexual reproduction provides submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) populations unique opportunities for dispersal, genetic mixing, and resilience in the event of catastrophic population declines. Relative to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction is a risky resource investment and can have a lower probability of success. A wide variety of abiotic and biotic interactions common in both terrestrial and aquatic environments can lead to significant mortality of seeds and seedlings.

Continuous cover forestry (CCF), an alternative forest management approach to clearfelling, is increasingly being adopted in the UK. It aims at enhancing stand structural diversity and favouring natural regeneration and subsequent seedling growth below the existing canopy of plantation forests. One area of limited knowledge is the critical level of below-canopy light for the growth of naturally regenerating seedlings. In addition, plant growth beneath canopies is influenced by other factors (e.g. herbivory). Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr. (Sitka spruce) seedlings under canopies have been obser
