Title

Facilitation of underplanted broadleaf trees by pine canopy under Mediterranean conditions depends on thinning intensity and type, not on species drought tolerance

Other claims from this paper (11)

Intervention effect Thinning increased light availability, throughfall, and soil moisture, mostly under moderate thinning.
Intervention effect Soil water availability increased in deeper layers in all thinned stands.
Intervention effect Shallow soil moisture improved mainly with moderate thinning.
Observation Five-year seedling survival exceeded 80% across all species.
Association Seedling survival generally rose with greater canopy openness.
Association Quercus pyrenaica and Q. ilex had the strongest survival response to canopy opening.
Intervention effect Thinning enhanced seedling growth, with maximal rates under moderate thinning.
Observation S. torminalis had the highest growth and A. monspessulanum the lowest.
Association Improved seedling performance under thinning was associated with less summer water stress.
Association Improved seedling performance under thinning was associated with higher photochemical efficiency in dry periods.
Recommendation The authors identify moderate thinning as favorable for underplanted seedlings and pine plantation diversification.

Effect of various lengths of cold stratification period on the germination of wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis) seed samples harvested in the Czech Republic

Miroslav Šulitka; Ivan Kuneš; Martin Baláš; et al. Journal of Forest Science 2025. doi:10.17221/61/2024-jfs

Other claims from this paper (7)

Intervention effect Seeds stratified for two months showed almost zero germination.
Intervention effect Seeds with three- and four-month stratification gave germination percentages varying from ca. 5% to 32%.
Intervention effect Seeds with three- and four-month stratification gave germination percentages varying from ca. 13% to 46%.
Intervention effect In 2020, four-month stratification gave significantly better seed performance than three-month stratification.
Intervention effect In 2021, three-month stratification gave slightly better seed results.
Intervention effect Four-month stratification increased the percentage of prematurely germinated seeds during stratification.
Recommendation At least three months of cold stratification are needed to obtain adequate germination of seeds in later laboratory tests.
