OptGERM: a comprehensive database of within and among species germination and early seedling development for six European tree species
Abstract Key message This dataset reports translocation experiments on 15,774 seeds from 43 populations of Abies alba Mill., Acer pseudoplatanus L., Fagus sylvatica L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., Quercus pubescens Willd., and Quercus suber L. It informs ecological and evolutionary processes in early tree stages.
