The role of moisture stress in seedling physiology and establishment
was studied in both the field environment and laboratory
experiments. Plant moisture stress was measured using the pressure
chamber technique. This technique was modified and tested using a
fascicle of pine needles as a sample, an improvement which allows the...
The internal moisture stress of Douglas-fir was determined on foliage collected in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon. Internal moisture stress integrates both climatic and edaphic environmental effects as they influence a plants moisture regime. In this study two laboratory techniques were modified to permit stress measurements to be taken...
"Control of competing vegetation during establishment is one of the key links in the chain of events leading to a new plantation and, ultimately, a productive forest resource. Experience has repeatedly shown that, without adequate site preparation, reforestation efforts almost inevitably will fail. Vegetation control during the establishment period by...

Nursery workers, foresters, landowners, and tree
planters often overlook the need for care in handling
seedlings between lifting and planting. Successful reforestation
depends on maintaining the life support systems of the seedling
while it is removed from its
natural environment; all persons handling the seedling
must share responsibility for its...
