An infobox for species use in forest restoration

General considerations

• All data in this infobox should be substantiated with text entries and citations unter the section Use in forest restoration.
• Much information will be too variable across sites to include as a single value in the infobox. This variability should be described in the main text. Only generally applicable data (as far as is known) should be included in the infobox.
• Subsections of section Use in forest restoration:
  • Collection
    • Fruiting information (wet season, dry season), collection from tree or from ground, etc.
  • Nursery
    • Germination notes (fruit removal, soak in hot water, cold water, in fridge, scarify, store...). Cutting notes. Wilding notes (pruning needs). Potting notes (medium, watering, fertilizer needed or not to achieve optimal planting size). Diseases.
  • Post-nursery
    • Sun-hardening needs (in general 4-6 weeks), fertilizer response. Diseases.
  • Seedling photos

Data fields

Fieldname	Data type	Permitted values	Description
General
habitat	comma-separated list	swamp, alluvial, hill, montane	The general forest habitat
framework	boolean	yes OR no	Is this species a good choice as a framework species?
succclass	text	pioneer OR climax	To the extent possible and acknowledging the wide range of mixed life-history strategies, classify as an early successional, shade intolerant pioneer or a late successional shade tolerant climax species.
Collection
seedease	text	low OR medium or high	How easy is it to acquire seeds?
wildingease	text	low OR medium or high	How easy is it to acquire wildings? In what standing numbers do they occur under parent trees?
Nursery
seedtreatment	free text	< 100 chars	Special treatment of seeds
dormanttime	integer		Median dormancy time, in months
germrate	text	low OR medium OR high	Expected level of seeds germinating after one year. General guide: low = 0-40 %, medium = 40-80 %, high = 80-100 %
cuttings	boolean	yes OR no	Can the plant be easily propagated from cuttings?
hormone	boolean	yes OR no	Does the use of rooting hormone give a significant increase in rooting success?
wildingsurv	text	low OR medium OR high	What is the general level of survival of wildings during first year of nursery life? General guide: low = 0-40 %, medium = 40-80 %, high = 80-100 %
oneyearheight	integer		The height in cm, to the nearest 10 cm, of seedlings started from seed, or from small seedlings, after one year.
mintnt	integer		Minimum total nursery time, in months
Post-Nursery
suntolerant	boolean	yes OR no	In general, does the species do well planted into full sun (little sunburn, etc.)
twoyearsurv	text	low OR medium OR high	The survival after two years planted in open sun, on mid to poor soils. General guide: low = 0-40 %, medium = 40-80 %, high = 80-100 %
twoyearrgr	integer		The % height increase, relative to the starting height, after two years planted in open sun, on mid to poor soils, to the nearest 10 %. (RGR = (hgtt1 - hgtt0) / hgtt0 x 100
shadecasting	text	dense OR light	When well developed, does the sapling case a dense or light shade?
agefirstfruit	integer		The age in years, to the nearest year of first fruiting after planting in open sun, on mid to poor soils
