“…immature seed can also increase seedling size and decrease mortality. The positive effects of soak-sorting on the seedling size of 1-year-old Norway spruce seedlings have however been marginal (Himanen and Nygren 2014). This contrasts with of studies of other conifer species in which earlier seedling emergence is linked to increased seedling size and survival (Boyer et al 1985(Boyer et al , 1987Mexal and Fisher 1987).…”

“…Nursery growing measures aim at producing evenly sized seedling crops, and seed-soaking treatments are used to promote germination as a way to ensure a good start for the seedlings. The simplest soaking method used in conifers is to soak seeds as a first step in stratification aimed at breaking seed dormancy (Kolotelo et al 2001) or to sow the seeds straight after the soak (Himanen and Nygren 2014). Since the seeds' water content rises during soaking, germination can start immediately in the seed bed.…”
