A comparison of the recruitment success of introduced and native species under natural conditions. [PDF]
It is commonly accepted that introduced species have recruitment advantages over native species. However, this idea has not been widely tested, and those studies that have compared survival of introduced and native species have produced mixed results. We

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-

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.

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

Seedling density and seedling survival in Alaskan cotton grass tussock tundra
Previous workers have suggested that reproduction by seedling establishment is less important in the maintenance of tundra vegetation than in temperate areas, but few quantitative data are available. Seedling densities were studied at 11 tundra sites in or near disturbed and undisturbed cotton grass tussock tundra in Alaska, and ...
