摘要
Smoke derived from burning a natural mixture of plant species stimulates the germination of seed from a wide range of plants. It is not known, however, whether smoke derived from individual species is equally effective in promoting seed germination. The germination of Themeda triandra seed following exposure to smoke, generated by individually burning the leaf material of 27 different species common to the montane grasslands of the Drakensberg, is reported. Germination of T. triandra seed was not promoted in response to the smoke of all 27 species tested.
