Abstract

This article examines the effect of sowing dates on the germination and growth indicators of seedlings of common oak (Quercus robur) and chestnut-leaved oak (Quercus castaneifolia) under conditions of global climate change. According to the research results, seeds sown in November demonstrated the highest germination rates (70–74%) and survival rates. At the same time, seedlings of common oak sown in August showed the highest growth dynamics in terms of height and root collar diameter; however, their survival rate was found to be low.
