Abstract Knowledge of pre-germination seed treatments is critical for ecological restoration practices such as outplantings or direct seeding. However, in drylands, there is a lack of this kind of information about some species with high potential value for ecological restoration. This is the case of Larrea divaricata Cav., a native species that is dominant and can grow in degraded environments to the Monte region and arid ecosystems in Argentina. We evaluated the effects of the following treatments to break seed dormancy in this species: 1) alternation of soaking and drying periods; (2) periods of soaking and rinsing with running water; (3) mechanical scarification, and (4) control. Seed scarification was done using a novel mechanical method using two pieces of sandpaper: one fixed and the other spun using a 710 W hand drill. The variables evaluated were: (a) germination percentage (over time since imbibition and the final percentage), (b) mean time to germination, and (c) number of days before the start of germination. The mechanical scarification treatment improved all germination variables compared to the other treatments. In the mechanical scarification treatment, germination percentage was 60.7%; mean time to germination was 6.32 days, and the number of days before the start of germination was 2 days. Our results indicate that mechanical scarification is an appropriate technique for propagation of L. divaricata Cav. for large scale restoration, since many seeds can be treated quickly and this technique is easily replicable.

Larrea divaricata Cav 的萌发,一种恢复荒漠化干旱生态系统的重要灌木物种

摘要 发芽前种子处理知识对于生态恢复实践(如外植或直播)至关重要。然而,在旱地,对于一些具有较高生态恢复价值的物种,缺乏此类信息。Larrea divaricata Cav. 就是这种情况,它是一种占主导地位的本地物种,可以在阿根廷蒙特地区和干旱生态系统的退化环境中生长。我们评估了以下处理对打破该物种种子休眠的影响:1)浸泡和干燥时间的交替;(2) 用流水浸泡和冲洗的时间;(3) 机械松土,以及 (4) 控制。使用两片砂纸通过一种新颖的机械方法完成种子松散:一张固定,另一张使用 710 W 手钻旋转。评估的变量是:(a)发芽百分比(随着时间的推移和最终百分比),(b)平均发芽时间,以及(c)发芽开始前的天数。与其他处理相比,机械划痕处理改善了所有发芽变量。机械松土处理中,发芽率为60.7%;平均发芽时间为6.32天,发芽开始前的天数为2天。我们的结果表明,机械划痕是繁殖 L. divaricata Cav 的合适技术。对于大规模修复,因为可以快速处理许多种子,而且这种技术很容易复制。(c) 发芽开始前的天数。与其他处理相比,机械划痕处理改善了所有发芽变量。机械松土处理中,发芽率为60.7%;平均发芽时间为6.32天,发芽开始前的天数为2天。我们的结果表明,机械划痕是繁殖 L. divaricata Cav 的合适技术。对于大规模修复,因为可以快速处理许多种子,而且这种技术很容易复制。(c) 发芽前的天数。与其他处理相比,机械划痕处理改善了所有发芽变量。机械松土处理中,发芽率为60.7%;平均发芽时间为6.32天,发芽开始前的天数为2天。我们的结果表明,机械划痕是繁殖 L. divaricata Cav 的合适技术。对于大规模修复,因为可以快速处理许多种子,而且这种技术很容易复制。发芽开始前的天数为2天。我们的结果表明,机械划痕是繁殖 L. divaricata Cav 的合适技术。对于大规模修复,因为可以快速处理许多种子,而且这种技术很容易复制。发芽开始前的天数为2天。我们的结果表明,机械划痕是繁殖 L. divaricata Cav 的合适技术。对于大规模修复,因为可以快速处理许多种子,而且这种技术很容易复制。
