Assisted regeneration allows for selecting desired tree qualities, such as drought resistance and good timber or fruit quality. It is also a valuable forest management tool for species with slow growth - such as most canopy tree species of northern Namibia - and limited natural regeneration, such as Pterocarpus angolensis and Guibourtia coleosperma. Few nursery experiments with dry woodland tree species from northern Namibia have been published. This study aimed to test seed treatments of six indigenous tree species to improve germination rates. The seeds were incubated in germination chambers at 30° C and 26° C to establish the effects of different temperatures on germination.
