Field Experiment on Direct Seeding Conducted at the Cascata Experimental Station of Embrapa Temperate Climate, 2022

This dataset contains records from a direct seeding experiment conducted in 2022 at the Cascata Experimental Station of Embrapa Temperate Climate. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of season, mulching, and agricultural crops on the emergence and establishment of tree species (pioneer and non-pioneer) through the use of direct seeding in forest restoration under a subtropical climate. The field observations presented show the emergence of the tested forest species over one year of study, as well as their establishment one year after implementation. The different factors tested were agricultural crops (Treatment 1), with the levels presence of agricultural crops (T1) and absence (Control). The mulching factor (Treatment 2), with the levels presence of mulching (Mulching) and absence (Non-mulching). The seasons tested were summer and winter, and finally, the successional groups included pioneer and non-pioneer species.
