[Beech (Fagus sylvatica) germination and seedling growth under climatic and allelopathic constraints].
Comptes Rendus Biologies 2018 October 24
Recruitment is a key process for forest sustainability, especially in warm margin of distribution area. The influence of climate (temperate or warm), of soil water availability, and of allelopathic interactions from different forest species have been tested on the germination of Fagus sylvatica in controlled climatic conditions. Germination rates of non-dormant Fagus seeds were improved by relatively warm temperatures (20°C), but reversibly stopped under heat constraint (27°C). The relative growth rate of Fagus seedlings was better under temperate climatic conditions. Foliar extracts of Hedera helix showed the highest allelopathic effect on Fagus recruitment, especially in temperate conditions. Our results suggest a limitation of Fagus recruitment in warm margin of its distribution area, and a modulation of recruitment success according to the identity of plant neighbourhood.
