Title

Responses of Quercus suber seedlings under differents light and water treatments. Greenhouse and field experiments

Rafael Villar Montero; Teodoro Marañón; José Luis Quero Pérez; et al. 2008

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.
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.
Recommendation Medium shade appears best suited for Quercus suber regeneration.

Potassium Nitrate Controls Pecan Sprout Regrowth in Stumps after Orchard Thinning

Dan Chapman; Laurence Sistrunk; J. Benton Storey HortScience 1995. doi:10.21273/hortsci.30.4.842e

Other claims from this paper (4)

Intervention effect The 0.75 kg KNO3 rate per stump significantly reduced the number and weight of pecan sprouts regrowing in the first year.
Intervention effect The low KNO3 rate stimulated regrowth of pecan stump sprouts.
Recommendation The authors state that the key to regrowth suppression is a high KNO3 rate in sufficient holes to allow penetration.
Recommendation The authors state that KNO3 stump treatment should be a safe practice.
