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.

Jonathan C. Onyekwelu; Olawole J. Fayose 2007

Other claims from this paper (14)

Intervention effect Storage in deep freezer, room condition (over one week) and sun drying killed T. africana seeds.
Intervention effect Storage methods and storage duration both had a significant effect on germination (p < 0.05).
Association For storage methods that did not kill seeds, germination decreased significantly and progressively as storage duration increased.
Intervention effect Seeds stored in a refrigerator for up to four weeks gave better germination results.
Intervention effect Storage in refrigerator beyond four weeks killed the seeds.
Intervention effect Except for one to two weeks of refrigerator storage, germination of control seeds was significantly higher than under all storage treatments.
Observation Fresh T. africana seeds have 38.26 carbohydrate.
Observation Fresh T. africana seeds have 17.67 crude protein.
Observation Fresh T. africana seeds have 3.82 moisture.
Observation Fresh T. africana seeds have 15.85 crude fibre.
