Seed traps were installed at seven sites along a transect in a burned mixedwood forest site in northern Saskatchewan to determine annual seed inputs. The seeds were returned to the laboratory for germination and identification. A total of 1698 seeds was collected in the 1977-1978 season, representing a seeding rate of 8.98 million seeds/ha. Epilobium angustifolium L. was most abundant representing 63% of the total. Betula papyrifera Marsh. accounted for 27.6% and Picea glauca (Moench) Voss 6.1%. The seed count for 1978-1979 was 651 (3.44 million/ha) and represented a significant decline in herb and tree seeds.© National Research Council of Canada, NRC Research Press.
