Potential Germination Success of Exotic and Native Trees Coexisting in Central Spain Riparian Forests
We compared potential germination success (i.e., percentage of produced seeds that germinate under optimal conditions), the percentage of empty and insect-damaged seeds, germinability (Gmax), and time to germination (Tgerm) between the exotics Ailanthus altissima, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Ulmus pum...
