Variation in flood tolerance of container-grown seedlings of swamp white oak, bur oak, and white oak

摘要: How much variation in flood tolerance exists among seedlings within oak species, given the frequency of sites from which acorns are collected, has been largely unexplored. Our studies examined initial growth and for swamp white (Quercus bicolor Willd.), bur (Q. macrocarpa L.), alba L.) grown collected both upland bottomland sites. Two-flush a soil-less potting mix were subjected to partial inundation 0, 4, 8 weeks with stagnant water shade house covered 50 percent fabric.
