Abstract:Abstract:Using three growing media dubbed by sands, plant ash and sawdust as experimental materials, the paper made a study of the influences of different substrates on seed germination and seedling growth of Lindera megaphylla, Phoebe zhennan and Phoebe bournei in the open-air planting nursery. The results showed that the germination rate, germination index and seedling growth of Lindera megaphylla was best in the substrate of sand. The germination rates, germination indexes and seedling growths of Phoebe zhennan and Phoebe bournei were best in the substrate mixed by sand and plant ash.
