Stock Quality Assessment: Forecasting Survival or Performance on a Reforestation Site
Seedlings are exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions on reforestation sites. These conditions could result in stress that reduces survival and/or growth of newly planted seedlings. Field survival and field performance potential need to be distinct areas of evaluation when selecting and interpreting stock quality tests. Tests that measure the functional integrity of seedlings help forecast their survival capability. Tests that simulate anticipated field environmental conditions help forecast a seedling's physiological performance and potential for growth on a reforestation site.
