To determine the effects of fire-related germination cues, time-since-fire and habitats, soil-borne seed bank samples of rocky outcrops and forest habitats of Torrington State Conservation Area were examined under glasshouse conditions. A total of 1766 seedlings were recorded from the 128 sample trays over the trial duration of 9 weeks. After 9 weeks, no more seedlings emerged. The seedlings were identified as belonging to 44 species from 38 genera and 23 plant families; comprising 21 woody species, 17 forb species, 3 graminoid species and 3 grass species. The most prominent plant families…mehr

To determine the effects of fire-related germination cues, time-since-fire and habitats, soil-borne seed bank samples of rocky outcrops and forest habitats of Torrington State Conservation Area were examined under glasshouse conditions. A total of 1766 seedlings were recorded from the 128 sample trays over the trial duration of 9 weeks. After 9 weeks, no more seedlings emerged. The seedlings were identified as belonging to 44 species from 38 genera and 23 plant families; comprising 21 woody species, 17 forb species, 3 graminoid species and 3 grass species. The most prominent plant families were Fabaceae (8 woody species) followed by Myrtaceae (4 woody species), Apiaceae (4 forb species) and Epacridaceae, Poaceae and Asteraceae with 3 species each. Both seedling emergence and species richness was greater for heat and combinatorial effect of heat and smoke induced treatments than for control and smoke treatments. However, only the species richness was significant for treatments.Examination of the soil seed bank samples and the ground standing vegetation of the study sites showed that the species composition was similar.
