18.01.2022 A study of life in the clouds! Cloud immersion is a primary feature of Australia's tropical mountain cloud forests that is predicted to be impacted by climate c...hange. Dr Gemma Hoyle of the Australian National Botanic Gardens' National Seed Bank is conducting an exciting pilot study examining the effect of light quality on the germination of seeds collected from the cloud forests of the tropical mountaintops of Mt Bellenden-Ker and Mt Lewis, Far North Queensland -- as part of a rescue mission led by the Australian Tropical Herbarium to collect, propagate and safeguard up to 20 climate-threatened tropical mountaintop plant species to avert their extinction. She says that the quality of light, specifically the ratio of red to far-red light, might be a factor in the germination of seeds of cloud forests found on Australia's tropical mountaintops. Despite the link between light and clouds, little has been studied about the effect the quality of light has on these plants, or whether they require above average red to far-red light ratio for germination due to persistent cloud immersion. #scienceweek National Science Week National Science Week ACT #climate_threatened_flora #Cloud_Rainforests #WetTropicsWorldHeritageArea #Botanic_Gardens_Conservation #seedscience
