Seedling Survival and Plantation Success in the Drylands of Northern Ethiopia
Abstract We studied tree seedling survival rates and plantation success of Growth and Transformation Plan I (GTP I) (2011–2015) in the drylands of Northern Ethiopia. The study was carried out in six randomly selected districts of Tigrai that represents three agro-ecological zones; highland, midland and lowland.

Survival on land: A dark-grown seedling searching for path
To initiate its development into a plant, a small dark-grown seedling (prior to its emergence from the ground) must penetrate through the growth media. The path that the seedling takes during this journey has yet to be explained. As such, we conducted non-destructive tests using CT scans to observe the growth of dark-grown seedlings in soil over time ...

Possibility of bare-root seedling application for tropical forest and landscape restoration: A study on Gmelina arborea and Calophyllum inophyllum [PDF]
Container and bare-root seedlings are the two basic stock types used in reforestation programs in many countries, but in the tropics, bare-root seedlings have never been widely applied. The objective of this research was to assess the possibility of bare-

Mutagenic effect of ion beam irradiation on survival and seedling growth characters of malaysian rice (Oryza sativa l.) variety mr84 [PDF]
Ion beam irradiation has emerged as an excellent tool for mutation breeding to produce new promising mutant variety. Ion beam has been found to show high relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of growth inhibition. The effects of ion beam radiation were

Dry conditions and disturbance promote liana seedling survival and abundance [PDF]
AbstractSpecies composition and community structure in Neotropical forests have been severely affected by increases in climate change and disturbance. Among the most conspicuous changes is the proliferation of lianas. These increases have affected not only the carbon storage capacity of forests but also tree dynamics by reducing tree growth and ...

Effects of field vegetation control on pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) damage to newly planted Norway spruce seedlings [PDF]
We investigated interactions between field vegetation and seedling damage caused by a major insect pest, the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.), in an experiment established on a clear-cut area in southern Sweden.
