- Title
COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF THE ABILITY OF SPECIES TO WITHSTAND PROLONGED PERIODS OF DARKNESS.

Hutchinson, T. C.
- Abstract
The article presents comparative studies on the ability of woodland species to withstand prolonged exposure to darkness. This study observed how could woodland species survive even in conditions of prolonged periods of darkness compared to the species of unshaded habitats. Observations were specifically made on growth characteristics in darkness and in the presence of suitable light conditions. Soil nutrition and temperature were also studied. Some important details were noted on seed weight, seed germination, and fungal attack.
