Summary
In this study, the effects of different sowing environment (greenhouse and nursery), pretreatment (cold moist stratification), different sowing time (autumn, spring and summer) and some climate factors (air temperature, relative air humidity, soil temperature and soil moisture) on the germination of Acer pseudoplatanus L. seeds were studied. Seeds were harvested from the tree located in the Karadeniz Technical University campus. Three different germination trials were carried out; (1) direct sowing in autumn after seed collection (Control), (2) sowing stratified seeds in spring (Stratification-1) and (3) sowing stratified seeds in summer (Stratification-2). During the germination trial processes, air temperature, relative air humidity, soil temperature and soil moisture were measured periodicaly. Thus, the germination percentage changes in different sowing environments have been established on the basis of some climate factors. Higher germination percentages were obtained in the autumn (Control) compared to the spring (Stratification-1) and summer (Stratification-2) sowings. The highest percentages of germination were ­determined in the control trials (70% in greenhouse and 58% in nursery). Obtained germination results based on different sowing times revealed secondary dormancy in Acer pseudoplatanus L. seeds. It has been determined that the mean germination time in the greenhouse (12 days) was shorter than the mean germination time in the nursery (18 days). In addition, the obtained results showed that stratification and sowing time have a positive effect on the mean germination time in the greenhouse. Because of getting the best germination rates, keeping some climate ­factors constant (21.0-24.9 °C air temperature; 17.0-19.9 °C soil temperature; 63.0-68.9% relative air humidity; 60.0-67.9% soil moisture) during the vegetative propagation practices in the greenhouse, should affect mass ­seedling production in Acer pseudoplatanus L.

INTRODUCTION
UVOD
Sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) produces economically attractive timber, offers ecological services and has high land compatibility, but is only a small component of European forests (Vacek et al. 2018). Despite its potential economic and ecological significance (Spiecker et al. 2009), the share of the sycamore maple generally does not exceed 3% by most national inventories in Europe (Hein 2009). This low stand volume is due to the fact that the sycamore maple tree rarely forms pure forest stands (Jones 1945; Hein et al. 2009). In Turkey, it spreads around 1000 meters in the Black Sea coastal forests of Thrace (Gültekin 2007). Yalt&305;r&305;k (1971) stated that this species does not have a natural distribution area in Turkey, but it comes artificially.
As a result of the rapid increase of the world population and the expansion of the global economy, the pressure on natural resources is increasing day by day. As in many countries, a large part of the forests in Turkey have been damaged due to various reasons (climate change, fragmentation, social pressure and etc.) and forests could not provide the required benefits in terms of both quantity and quality. Moreover, since the decrease in forest areas as a result of rapid population growth will increase the need for wood raw material in the future, more forest areas and therefore planned afforestation works are needed for supplying increasing wood raw material demand and to prevent air, land and water pollution caused by industrialization (Ürgenç 1998).
Afforestation works are mostly established for various purposes such as water and soil protection, wood production and carbon sequestration The effects of recent afforestation activities on biological diversity are also discussed. It is stated that the priority in afforestation studies is the need to protect the natural plant taxa in the area (Bremer and Farley 2010). Many researchers stated that sycamore increases biodiversity and ecological stability of forest ecosystems (Binggeli 1993; Pommerening 1997; Bell 2009) and it is soil-improving tree species that increased humus formation and nutrient cycling (Weber et al. 1993; Heitz and Rehfuess 1999). So, it is possible to say sycamore has an important potential to respond to projected future climate change (Kölling 2007; Hein et al. 2009). On account of, the species has value for both the forest sector and the wood processing industry especially in Central Europe (Spiecker et al. 2009; Thies et al. 2009; Vacek et al. 2018).
Maple seeds, which are in the category of orthodox and recalcitrant seeds during germination, may differ from species to species (Gültekin 2007). Seeds of maple species are considered by most researchers as seeds with germination barriers (Bradbeer 1988; Derkx 2000; Piotto et al. 2001; Gleiser et al. 2004; Zasada and Strong 2008). Although pericarp, seed coat and embryo dormancy are seen in maples, there are differences between species in terms of morphological and physiological dormancy (Young and Young 1992). Depending on the dormancy types, there are different techniques for romoving dormancy in Acer ssp. seeds. Cold-moist stratification is the widely used method for removing dormancy in many Acer species (Farmer and Cunningham 1981; Tylkowski 1995; Tremblay et al. 1996; Savage et al. 1998; Bourgoin and Simpson 2004; Gültekin 2007; Farhadi et al. 2013; Erdo&287;an Genç and Üçler 2020a; Erdo&287;an Genç and Üçler 2020b). In addition, gibberellic acid also promotes removing seed dormancy and stimulates seed germination in many species (Chen and Chang 1972; Beyhan et al. 1999; Phartyal et al. 2003a; Drăghici and Abrudan 2010; Stejskalová et al. 2015; Kumar et al. 2017).
Seeds usually respond to a combination of different environmental factors such as light, temperature and soil moisture that best suit their structure (Baskin and Baskin 1998). Germination occurs at a certain thermal rate, so temperature is the determining factor for germination and is directly related to the ecological characteristics of the species (De Castro and Hilhorst 2004). For most species, the prevailing soil temperature determines both the growth and germination rate of the seeds (Heydecker 1977).
Main goals of the study are (1) to investigate the effects of cold-moist stratification, sowing time and sowing environment (greenhouse and nursery) on the germination ability of the sycamore maple seeds, (2) to determine the best suitable climate factors for better germination ability and (3) to create basis knowledge for the further studies in terms of mass seedling production.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
MATERIJALI I METODE
Seed material – Sjemenski materijal
Seeds harvested from a single sycamore maple tree which is located in the Kanuni campus of Karadeniz Technical University (4005947 N; 3904620 E) were used as material. Altitude of the location of the single seed family above sea level is approximately 100 meters and the exposure is north. The seeds were harvested in September 2017.
Seeds were collected by hand from the middle-inner part of the crown of the seed family. Collected seeds were cleared from branches, leaves and stems in laboratory. After cleaning and the visually injured or damaged ones of the seeds were removed, the extracted seeds without wings were air-dried (10% seed moisture content). The flotation method was applied by using 96% ethanol in order to separate healthy seeds. 400 (4x100) seeds were used to determine the fullness rate. By using 800 (8x100) seeds, the mean 1000 Kernel Weights (g) of the seeds were determined according to ISTA (1996). Mean 1000 Kernel Weights (g) of the harvested seeds

ŠUMARSKI LIST 11-12/2021 str. 53     <-- 53 -->        PDF

was 184 g, and the fullness rate was 67%. Some important hydrological, physical and chemical properties of the soil used in seedbeds were shown in Table 1 and in Table 2.
Germination trials – Pokusna ispitivanja klijavosti
In this study, 3 different germination trials were tested. (1) First germination trial was the direct sowing after seed collection without any pretreatment (Control) which was constructed in November 2017 in the greenhouse and in the nursery. (2) Second germination trial (Stratification-1) was sowing seeds in spring after cold-moist stratification. Seeds were mixed with humidified sand with 40% moisture content in plastic bags and placed in a cooler at +4 °C for cold-moist stratification. Stratification should be continued until the first germinant appear in stratification medium (Piotto et al. 2001; Zasada and Strong 2008). After 90 days of cold-moist stratification, first germinant appeared in the stratification medium and ungerminated seeds were taken from the stratification medium and sown on seedbeds in the greenhouse and in the nursery in March 2018 (Stratification-1). (3) Third germination trial (Stratification-2) was sowing stored seeds in summer after cold moist stratification. Until the Stratification-2 trial started, some of the harvested seeds were placed in polyethylene bags with 10±2% moisture content and were stored in a cooler at +4 °C for five months. Stratification-2 was started in March 2018; stored seeds were mixed with humidified sand with 40% moisture content in plastic bags and placed in a cooler at +4 °C. Third sowing was done in June 2018 after 90 days of cold-moist stratification in the greenhouse and in the nursery. Both sowings were carried out by using the line sowing method. Since the seedbed area was narrower than the nursery, line sowing method was applied with 5x30 sampling in the nursery and 6x25 sampling in the greenhouse.
During each germination trial process soil moisture, soil temperature, relative air humidity and air temperature values were measured and recorded on two days in the greenhouse and in the nursery to reveal the climate factors that affected germination. Grouped data was performed for soil temperature, air temperature, relative air humidity and soil moisture values and the intervals that the best germination percentages obtained were determined. Weed control was done regularly on the seedbeds and irrigation was carried out at regular intervals.
Determination of germination percentage and mean germination time – Određivanje postotka klijavosti i prosječnog vremena klijavosti
The germination percentage (GP) was calculated by the equation (1):
                                (1)
Where is the mumber of germinated seeds on day i, N is the total number of tested seeds.
                Mean germination time (MGT) was calculated by the equation (2):
                                (2)
Where ni is the number of the days, ti is the number of germinated seeds in a given number of days, T is the total number of germinated seeds.

Statistical Analysis – Statistička analiza
One Way ANOVA test was used to determine whether the germination results were significantly different or not on the basis of different sowing environments, pretreatments, air temperature, soil temperature, relative air humidity and soil moisture. SPSS 20.0 statistical software was used to evaluate the obtained data.
RESULTS
REZULTATI
Germination percentages – Postotak klijavosti
While the highest germination percentage (70%) in the greenhouse environment was obtained as a result of the control trial, the lowest germination percentage (24%) was obtained from the stratification-2 trial. Moreover, the highest germination percentage (58.1%) in the nursery was also obtained as a result of the control trial and the lowest germination percentage (10.5%) was obtained as a result of the stratification-2 trial. In the stratification-1 trial, the average germination percentage of 44% was obtained both in the greenhouse and in the nursery.
Air temperature and germination percentage – Temperatura zraka i postotak klijavosti
The highest germination percentages in the greenhouse were obtained as 54.7% at the 21.0-24.9 °C air temperature level in the control trial, as 30% at the same air temperature level in the stratification-1 trial and as 15% at the 25.0-28.9 °C air temperature level in the stratification-2 trial. The highest germination percentages in the nursery were obtained as 22% at the 13.0-16.9 °C air temperature level in the control trial, as 20.5% at the 17.0-20.9 °C air temperature level in the stratification-1 trial and as 8% at the 25.0-28.9 °C air temperature level in the stratification-2 trial.
No germination was observed after 29.0-32.9 °C air temperature level in the greenhouse. On the other hand, germination was observed at the 37.0-40.9 °C air temperature level in the nursey. In the control and in the stratification 1 trials, germination was started at lower air temperature levels in the nursery (9.0-12.9 °C and 13.0-16.9 °C respectively) than the greenhouse (17.0-20.9 °C). However, in the stratification 2 trial, germination was observed at the 25.0-28.9 °C air temperature levels both in the nursery and in the greenhouse (Figure 1).

ŠUMARSKI LIST 11-12/2021 str. 55     <-- 55 -->        PDF

ANOVA test results showed significant differences (p<0.05) between germination percentages according to the pre-treatment, air temperature level, sowing environment*air temperature level and pre-treatment*air temperature level interactions. On the other hand, there were no significant differences between the greenhouse and nursery germination percentages (Table 3).
Soil temperature and germination percentage – Temperatura tla i postotak klijavosti
The highest germination percentages in the greenhouse were obtained as 43.3% at the 17.0-19.9 °C soil temperature level in the control trial, as 17.5% at the 20.0-22.9 °C soil temperature level in the stratification-1 trial, as 12.5% at the 23.0-25.9 °C soil temperature level in the stratification-2 trial. The highest germination percentages in the nursery were obtained as 20% at the 8.0-10.9 °C soil temperature level in the control trial, as 15% at the 14.0-16.9 °C soil temperature level in the stratification-1 trial and as 7% at the 26.0-28.9 °C soil temperature level in the stratification-2 trial. No germination was observed in the greenhouse while the soil temperature reached to the 14.0-16.9 °C level and after the soil temperature level of 26.0-28,9 °C. However, germinations were observed in the nursery after the 29.0-31.9 °C soil temperature level in the stratification-2 trial. No germination was observed in the nursery while the soil temperature reached to the 23.0-25.9 °C level in the stratification-2 trial, but germinations were observed in the nursery at the 8.0-10.9 °C soil temperature level in the control and in the stratification-1 trials (Figure 2).
ANOVA Test results showed significant differences (p<0.05) between germination percentages according to the pre-treatment and the soil temperature level. On the other hand, there were no significant differences between greenhouse and nursery germination percentages. Moreover no significant differences were found according to the sowing environment*soil temperature level and the pre-treatment*soil temperature level interactions (Table 4).
Relative air humidity and germination percentage – Relativna vlažnost zraka i postotak klijavosti
The highest germination percentages in the greenhouse were obtained as 33.3% at the 63.0-68.9 relative air humudity level in the control trial, as 21.5% at the 75.0-80.9% relative air humudity level in the stratification-1 trial and as 17.5% at the 81.0-86.9% relative air humidity level in the

stratification-2 trial. In the nursery, the highest germination percentages were obtained as 23% at the 57.0-62.9% relative air humudity level in the stratification-1 trial, as 20% at the 63.0-68.9% relative air humidity level in the control trial and as 8.5% at the 75.0-80.9% relative air humudity level in the stratification-2 trial.
While no germinations were observed after the 87.0-92.9% air humidity level in the control and in stratification-2 trials in the greenhouse, germinations were observed after the relative air humidity level of 87.0-92.9% in the stratification-1 trial. In the stratification-2 trial, no germination was observed up to the 69.0-74.9% relative air humidity level both in the greenhouse and in the nursery, but germinations were observed in the greenhouse at the 39.0-44.9% relative air humidty level in the control trial and at the 51.0-56.9% relative air humidty level in the stratification 1 trial. No germination was observed in the nursery up to the 45.0-50.9% relative air humidity level in the control and in the stratification-1 trial. Moreover, no germination was observed in the nursery after the 81.0-86.9% relative air humidty level in the stratification-1 trial. However, germinations were observed in the nursery after the 81.0-86.9% relative air humidty level in the control and in the stratification-2 trials (Figure 3).
ANOVA test results showed that there were no significant differences (p<0.05) between germination percentages according to the relative air humidity levels, sowing environment*relative air humidity and pretreatment*relative air humidity interactions. On the other hand, significant differences were found between germination percentages according to the pretreatments (Table 5).
Soil moisture and germination percentage – Vlažnost tla i postotak klijavosti
The highest germination percentages in the greenhouse were obtained as 34.7% at the 60.0-67.9% soil moisture level in the control trial, as 12.5% at the 44.0-51.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-1 trial and as 15.5% at the 36.0-43.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-2 trial. In the nursery, the highest germination percentages were obtained as 29.3% at the 36.0-43.9% soil moisture level in the control trial, as 26.5% at the 20.0-27.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-1 trial and as 8% at the 60.0-67.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-2 trial.
No germinations were observed in the greenhouse until the soil moisture reached to the 36.0-43.9% level in the control trial. However, germinations were observed in the greenhouse at the 20.0-27.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-1 trial and at the 28.0-35.9% soil moisture level in the

ŠUMARSKI LIST 11-12/2021 str. 57     <-- 57 -->        PDF

stratification-2 trial. Germinations were observed in the nursery at the 20.0-27.9% soil moisture level in the control and in the stratification-1 trials, but germinations were observed at 44.0-51.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-2 trial. While no germinations were observed in the greenhouse after the 60.0-67.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-2 trial, germinations were observed after the 76.0-83.9% soil moisture level in the control trial and after the 84.0-91.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-1 trial. In the nursery no germinations were observed after the 60.0-67.9% soil moisture level in the stratification-1 and in the stratification-2 trials, but germinations were observed at the 76.0-83.9% soil moisture level in the control trial (Figure 4).
ANOVA test results showed that there were no significant differences (p<0.05) between germination percentages according to the sowing environment, pretreatment, soil moisture levels, sowing environment*soil moisture level and pretreatment*soil moisture level interactions (Table 6).
Mean germination time – Prosječno vrijeme klijanja
While the average germination time was determined as 18 days in the control trial in the greenhouse, it was determined as 10 days in the stratification-1 trial and 9 days in the stratification-2 trial. In the nursery, the mean germination time was determined as 19 days in the control trial, as 25 days in the stratification-1 trial and as 9 days in the stratification-2 trial. It has been determined that the mean germination time in the greenhouse (12 days) was shorter than the mean germination time in the nursery (18 days). In addition, obtained results showed that stratification and sowing time have a positive effect on the mean germination time in the greenhouse.        
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
RASPRAVA I ZAKLJUČCI
In the germination trials, higher average germination percentages were obtained in the greenhouse compared to the nursery after the control and stratification-2 process, while the average germination percentages obtained after the stratification-1 process were realized at the same rate in both greenhouse and nursery. In many studies in the literature, it is stated that higher germination percentages were obtained in the germination studies performed in maples and in some other species in the greenhouse compared to the germination trials carried out in the nursery (Göktürk et al. 2007; Özana 2019; Erdo&287;an Genç and Üçler 2020a; Erdo&287;an Genç and Üçler 2020b). Therefore, it is possible to state that the sudden environmental factor

ŠUMARSKI LIST 11-12/2021 str. 58     <-- 58 -->        PDF

changes that occur during the germination process which affect the seed physiology are more controllable in the greenhouse environment.
At the same time, the highest germination percentages were determined in the control process both in the greenhouse and in the nursery. Therefore, the highest germination percentages were achieved in autumn sowings both in the greenhouse and in the nursery. In other words, the positive effect of the stratification process on the germination percentage was not revealed in this study. In many studies conducted on different species of maple, it is stated that the stratification process at varying times has a positive effect on the germination percentage (Tillberg and Pinfield 1982; Pinfield and Stutchbury 1990; Suzka et al. 1996; Evans and Blazich 1999; Yang and Lin 1999; Macdonald 2000; Phartyal et al. 2002; Erdo&287;an Genç and Üçler 2020a; Erdo&287;an Genç and Üçler 2020b). Stratification was continued until the first germinant appear in stratification medium. So, there should be no mistake about the applied stratification time. Although it has been stated in many studies on maple species that the stratification process has a positive effect on the germination percentage, obtaining the highest germination percentages in the seeds sown in the autumn without any pretreatment should be concluded that the sowing time, storage time and storage conditions were also extremely effective on the germination percentage in sycamore maple. In other words, it is possible to state that the sowing time, storage time and storage conditions might be caused changes in seed physiology. Hong and Ellis (1996) stated that the storage of seeds is related to properties such as seed shape, weight and moisture content in shedding period and those two important criteria such as seed moisture rate and 1000 seed weight at maturity stage play a determinant role in seed storage in maple species. Phartyal et al. (2003b) indicated that Himalayan maple seed desiccated to 5.91% moisture content had a significant effect on the extension of viability compared to other moisture content levels irrespective of storage temperature. Therefore, 10±2% seed moisture content applied during storage in sycamore maple may have revealed unsuitable moisture content for seed viability during storage. In addition, Phartyal et al. (2003b) also indicated that interaction of seed moisture content, temperature and storage days showed that Himalayan maple seed stored at -5 °C with 5.91% moisture content retained 28.0% viability up to 1275 days.             
The best germination rate in the greenhouse environment was achieved at the 21.0-24.9 °C air temperature level, 17.0-19.9 °C soil temperature level, 63.0-68.9% relative air humidity level and 60.0-67.9% soil moisture level. The fact that germination percentages vary in both greenhouse and in nursery depending on air temperature, relative air humidity, soil temperature and soil moisture at different sowing times and obtaining a higher germination percentage in autumn sowing compared to spring and summer sowing can be evaluated as the effect of secondary dormancy in sycamore seeds.
In the study, it was observed that mean germination time was faster in the greenhouse in autumn and spring sowings, while the mean germination time in the greenhouse and in the nursery was equal in summer sowing. The highest mean germination time was obtained in summer sowing. It is also stated in different studies that higher mean germination time is achieved in sowings in the greenhouse compared to nursery and the increase in temperature generally increases the mean germination time (Göktürk et al. 2007; Yüksel 2011; Öztürk 2016).
Within the scope of the study, the best germination percentage was obtained in the control process and in the greenhouse environment. In addition, higher germination percentages were obtained in autumn sowing compared to spring and summer sowings. Germination percentage can be increased by performing controlled germination trials under constant temperature and humidity conditions in the greenhouse in autumn. It would be appropriate to choose the greenhouse environment without any pretreatment in the generative mass seedling propagation of sycamore maple. The study was carried out on a single seed family located outside the natural distribution area of the sycamore maple. Population-level studies in natural distribution areas may contribute with different scientific results.

Sažetak
Istraživan je utjecaj zaštićenog prostora (staklenik) i rasadnik, predsjetvene pripreme sjemena (hladno-vlažna stratifikacija), različitog godišnjeg doba sjetve (jesen, proljeće i ljeto) i nekih klimatskih čimbenika (temperatura zraka, relativna vlažnost zraka, temperatura tla i vlaga tla) na klijavost sjemena Acer pseudoplatanus L. Sjeme je sakupljeno sa stabala u kampusu Tehničkog sveučilišta Karadeniz. Provedena su tri različita ispitivanja klijanja; (1) izravna sjetva u jesen nakon sakupljanja sjemena (Kontrola), (2) sjetva stratificiranog sjemena u proljeće (Stratifikacija-1) i (3) sjetva stratificiranog sjemena ljeti (Stratifikacija-2). Tijekom procesa klijanja povremeno su mjerene temperatura zraka, relativna vlažnost zraka, temperatura tla i vlaga tla. Na taj način su utvrđene promjene u postotku klijavosti u različitim sjetvenim okruženjima pod utjecajem određenih klimatskih čimbenika. Viši postotci klijavosti zabilježeni su u slučaju jesenske sjetve (Kontrola) u usporedbi s proljetnom (Stratifikacija-1) i ljetnom sjetvom (Stratifikacija-2). Najveći postotak klijavosti utvrđen je u kontrolnim ispitivanjima (70% u stakleniku i 58% u rasadniku). Prikupljeni rezultati klijavosti tijekom različitog perioda sjetve otkrili su sekundarno mirovanje kod sjemena Acer pseudoplatanus L. Utvrđeno je da je srednje vrijeme klijanja u stakleniku (12 dana) bilo kraće od prosječnog vremena klijanja u rasadniku (18 dana). Osim toga, dobiveni rezultati pokazali su da stratifikacija i vrijeme sjetve pozitivno utječu na srednje vrijeme klijanja u stakleniku. Održavanje nekih klimatskih čimbenika konstantnima (temperatura zraka 21.0-24.9 °C; temperatura tla 19.0-19.9 °C; relativna vlažnost zraka 63.0-68.9%; vlažnost tla 60.0-67.9%) tijekom vegetativnog razmnožavanja u stakleniku bi trebalo utjecati na masovnu proizvodnju sadnica u Acer pseudoplatanus L., a u svrhu postizanja najboljih rezultata klijavosti.
