Increased light intensity cannot offset negative legacy effects of cotyledon removal on survival, growth, and storage building in Quercus variabilis seedlings
Post-emergence cotyledon predation can hinder oak seedling establishment and consequently affect forest regeneration. Environmental variations among forest microsites, particularly in light intensity, can also influence seedling establishment. However, there is limited research on the interactive effects of cotyledon removal and light intensity on the storage and remobilization of cotyledon minerals in oak seedlings. We conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of cotyledon removal time and two levels of light intensity (moderate and low), mimicking understory conditions in deciduous and evergreen forests on cotyledon resource remobilization, as well as seedling survival, growth, and storage in Quercus variabilis seedlings. Light intensity did not affect cotyledon mineral remobilization but enhanced the reduction of cotyledon nonstructural carbohydrates during the first 8 days after emergence. Early cotyledon removal (up to day 4 after emergence) together with decreased light intensity reduced survival. Low light intensity reduced seedling mass and non-structural carbohydrate content only when cotyledons were removed within the first 8 days after emergence. This interactive negative effect also influenced seedling phosphorous content within the first 4 days after emergence. Cotyledon removal, not light intensity, decreased seedling nitrogen (N) content. Seedlings with cotyledons removed after day 12 of emergence showed N content similar to that of seedlings with intact cotyledons. Moderate light intensity in the forest understory can partially alleviate the negative legacy effects of early cotyledon removal on seedling performance. However, early cotyledon removal under deep shade hinders overall seedling performance, suggesting that early cotyledon predation can potentially reduce recruitment more in evergreen forests than deciduous ones.
期刊介绍:
Forest Ecology and Management publishes scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management, focusing on the application of biological, ecological and social knowledge to the management and conservation of plantations and natural forests. The scope of the journal includes all forest ecosystems of the world.
A peer-review process ensures the quality and international interest of the manuscripts accepted for publication. The journal encourages communication between scientists in disparate fields who share a common interest in ecology and forest management, bridging the gap between research workers and forest managers.
We encourage submission of papers that will have the strongest interest and value to the Journal''s international readership. Some key features of papers with strong interest include:
1. Clear connections between the ecology and management of forests;
2. Novel ideas or approaches to important challenges in forest ecology and management;
3. Studies that address a population of interest beyond the scale of single research sites, Three key points in the design of forest experiments, Forest Ecology and Management 255 (2008) 2022-2023);
4. Review Articles on timely, important topics. Authors are welcome to contact one of the editors to discuss the suitability of a potential review manuscript.
The Journal encourages proposals for special issues examining important areas of forest ecology and management. Potential guest editors should contact any of the Editors to begin discussions about topics, potential papers, and other details.
