Germination of range-wide Quercus suber L. populations

This database contains the individual germination times and rates of cork oak acorns under controlled conditions. Acorns were collected in 2021 from 9 natural populations comprising 10 mother trees per population in France, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The acorns were weighed per mother tree before being sown under controlled conditions at 15, 20 and 25°C. The final size of this database is 718 individual entries which include seed mass, germination rates and timing, and the emergence of the first leaf. The populations from which the acorns were collected are geo-referenced and the mother trees are identified by their circumference and dbh.
