摘要: | Seed germination in response to fifire-related cues has been widely studied in species from
fifire-prone ecosystems. However, the germination characteristics of species from non-fifire-prone
ecosystems, such as the saline-alkaline grassland, where fifire occasionally occurs accidentally or is
used as a management tool, have been less studied. Here, we investigate the effects of different
types of fifire cues (i.e., heat and smoke water) and their combined effect on the seed germination of
12 species from the saline-alkaline grassland. The results demonstrated that heat shock signifificantly
increased the germination percentage of Suaeda glauca and Kochia scoparia var. sieversiana seeds.
Smoke water signifificantly increased the germination percentage of Setaria viridis and K. scoparia seeds.
However, compared with single fifire cue treatments, the combined treatment neither promoted nor
inhibited seed germination signifificantly in most species. These results suggest that fifire cues can be
used as germination enhancement tools for vegetation restoration and biodiversity protection of the
saline-alkaline grassland. |
