Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association a greater seedling biomass was strongly associated with a bigger acorn mass under deep shade.
- Association with increasing light levels the association between seedling and acorn mass became lower and non-significant.
- Intervention effect light restriction with a decrease in the relative growth rate (RGR).
- Observation the seedlings had lower biomass.
- Mechanism This decrease in RGR was mainly caused by a decrease of the net assimilation rate (NAR).
- Intervention effect specific leaf area (SLA) and stem mass ratio (SMR) increased under shade.
- Intervention effect water limitation was a general decrease of RGR.
- Intervention effect the effect of drought was negligible under deep shade conditions.
- Observation Seedlings from open microhabitats (with more light) had a greater biomass than seedlings under tree or deep shade microhabitats.
- Intervention effect light limitation was an increase of specific leaf area (SLA), an increase in stem mass ratio and stem length.
- Observation survival rate of seedlings after the summer drought was greater under trees than in the open habitats.
