How much do we know about the environment of a tree seedling? How often are our
regeneration practices doing an effective job of improving habitat enough to make the
difference in forest establishment? Environmental research, and manipulation techniques, have
received intensive emphasis in recent years. Much is known about the...

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...

In some forest situations, seedlings readily spring up from seeds produced by nearby trees, reducing (or even eliminating) the need to plant trees. Often, though, conditions aren’t right for this
natural regeneration to happen quickly, or with the desired kinds of trees. Therefore, planting tree seedlings by hand usually is...
Tree seedling establishment and growth were studied in experimental canopy gaps to determine the effect of structural and environmental heterogeneity on species dynamics within mature and old-growth Douglas-fir forests in the Cascades of central Oregon and southern Washington. Factors examined included forest age, gap size, within-gap position. substrate, year of...
