The effect of temperature during cone and seed development on primary dormancy of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seeds
(Springer, 2021)
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seeds have variable levels of primary dormancy which reflect within-species adaptation to local environments. The objective of this study was to use a thermal time approach to determine ...

Species richness, diversity, density and spatial distribution of soil seed banks in the riparian woodland along the Thamalakane River of the Okavango Delta, northern Botswana.
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-10-21)
Soil seed banks serve as reservoirs of seeds for subsequent regeneration of plants. Soil seed banks were investigated along the Thamalakane Riparian Woodlands (hereafter referred to as TRWs) of the Okavango Delta, northern ...
Functional heterogeneity of habitats and dry season forage variability in an Okavango Delta landscape, northern Botswana.
(Elsevier, 2021-08-27)
The late dry season is a period when forage resources become limited in some African savannas that can induce a strong demographic bottleneck in herbivore populations with limited access to resource heterogeneity. This ...
Enhancing Germination of Seeds of Cassia abbreviata and Senegalia nigrescens Using Pre-Sowing Seed Treatments in Botswana
(Enviro Research Publishers, 2021-11-30)
Cassia abbreviata and Senegalia nigrescens are indigenous trees found in North and Central regions of Botswana. However, inadequate knowledge of their silviculture and decline in population due to deforestation, expanding ...
Pre-sowing treatments for enhancing germination of Guibortia coleosperma and Amblygonocarpus andongensis seeds from Kazuma Forest Reserve, Botswana
(Academic Journal, 2021-09-30)
The effect of seed presowing treatment on Guibortia coleosperma and Amblygonocarpus andongensis was investigated. Seeds of both species were subjected to four experiments, containing 10 levels of presowing treatments: ...
