Factors affecting survival of tree seedlings in North Queensland rainforests
Oecologia, 1992Seedlings of six species of rainforest trees with widely constrasting ecology and seed morphology were transplanted at 3 weeks of age into tree-fall gaps and the shaded understoreys at two rainforest sites (Curtain Fig and Lamins Hill) on the Atherton Tableland, North Queensland, Australia.

Survival and Growth of Chestnut Backcross Seeds and Seedlings on Surface Mines
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2013Some scientists consider the loss of the American chestnut from forests in the eastern United States as one of the greatest forest ecological disasters in the 20th century. The American Chestnut Foundation has been attempting to restore chestnut by backcrossing blight-resistant Chinese chestnut to American chestnut and selecting those strains with ...

The effects of neighbors on the growth and survival of shrub seedlings following fire
Oecologia, 1995Where plant species vie for limited resources, disturbances might preclude competition by releasing a flush of nutrients, or by reducing biomass and thereby diminishing the consumption of resources. However, if new seedlings colonize in clumps, they may still deplete resources within the local aggregations, which may then reduce their growth and ...

Survival of shoot meristems of tomato seedlings frozen in liquid nitrogen
Cryobiology, 1978Abstract An explant containing the primary shoot meristem was dissected from intact tomato seedlings after thawing from liquid nitrogen. Surviving explants produced shoots directly by normal meristem growth when cultured in the presence of gibberellic acid.

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1990
Abstract A seedling survival study for site-prepared loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations, consisting of 43 locations, was established during two planting seasons in 1986-87 in the Georgia Piedmont. Seedlings with top lengths less than 15 cm and with root collar diameters less than 2.5 mm survived significantly worse than larger ...

Australian Journal of Botany, 2005
Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A. Mey) Bunge (Chenopodiaceae) is a shrub occurring on desert sand dunes in China. Seedling emergence and seedling survival were investigated by sowing seeds at different depths (0, 2.5, 5.0 or 10 mm) in fine or coarse sand in pots irrigated under different regimes. Seed burial in sand was required for seedling establishment of

Why seedlings survive: influence of plant attributes
New Forests, 2012Seedling survival and successful forest restoration involves many silvicultural practices. One important aspect of a successful forest restoration program is planting quality seedlings with high survival capability. Thus the nursery needs to create seedlings with plant attributes that allow for the best chance of success once a seedling is field ...

Field performance can be predicted by evaluating nursery stock quality, but optimal morphological variables for use in these assessments may vary by species especially under dry Mediterranean conditions. Our objective was to identify initial seedling morphological characteristics that successfully predict field performance of five Mediterranean species

The germination and seedling survival ofCondalia microphyllaCav. in Argentina
Journal of Arid Environments, 1996The objectives of this work were to determine the basic germination requirements ofCondalia microphylla, one of the dominant woody species in the semi-arid region of central Argentina, in the laboratory and to evaluate seedling emergence and survival under field conditions in 1988 and 1989. The germination of unscarified seeds ofC.

Early Seedling Survival of Melilotus in Bluegrass Sod
Ecology, 1970Seeds of Melilotus alba and M. officinalis were sown in four different—sized openings in Canada bluegrass, a dominant of an old field. A relationship between seed germination and size of opening in the sod was not apparent but early seedling survival was correlated (P < .01) with size of opening, the larger openings yielding a greater number of ...
