Understanding how tree seedlings respond to warming soil temperature is critical for predicting population recruitment in the future hardwood forests of Northeastern North America, particularly as environmental conditions and thus optimal microhabitat availabilities change. We examined the effect of 5&#x2DA;C soil warming during the first growing season on germination, survival, phenology, growth, and stem and root biomass allocation in Acer rubrum (red maple) seedlings.</eml:description><eml:purpose>To understand the effect of experimental warming on the germination, survival, phenology, growth and biomass of red maple seedlings.</eml:purpose><eml:shortName/><eml:physical><eml:objectName>VMC.1387.2863</eml:objectName><eml:dataFormat><eml:formatName>mySQL</eml:formatName></eml:dataFormat><eml:citation>Wheeler J, Stinson K. 2017.
