Effect of light, gibberellic acid and nitrogen source on germination of eight taxa from dissapearing European temperate forest, Potentillo albae-Quercetum

Little is known about how light affects seed germination and revegetation of species of thermophilous oak forest. To reveal this relationship effects of white, red, far-red irradiations and dark incubation on germination of eight Potentillo albae - Quercetum taxa were examined. Attempts were also made to evaluate the influence of gibberellic acid and different nitrogen sources on the germination characteristics. Interaction between light and...
