Germinability of Norway spruce and Scots pine pollen exposed to open air.
Germination of Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.) and Scots pine ( L.) pollen decreased during exposure to open air conditions. Usually more than half of the pollen remained germinative after a few days outdoors, but following more than four days outdoors the germination became very low. Thi...
