“…Larger transplanted stocks graded out from one seedling batch were demonstrated to perform better in the field (Jacobs et al 2005;Li et al 2011). The results, however, are not in agreement with all tree species (Jacobs et al 2005).…”

“…Use of large stocks for reforestation is restricted by budget and the relative benefits for their establishment. Larger stocks have been widely proven to survive and grow better in the Mediterranean region (Oliet et al 2009;Cuesta et al 2010aCuesta et al , 2010b, boreal areas (Jobidon et al 2003), eastern Asia (Li et al 2011(Li et al , 2013, and humid temperate regions (Pinto et al 2011). However, although the ability for initial nutrient uptake and assimilation in newly planted stocks was crucial to their future performance (Timmer 1996), quite a few studies have found a relationship between pre-transplanting stock size and nutritional characteristics in post-transplanted stocks.…”

“…is widely distributed and planted in the temperate areas of the Changbai Mountains, Northeast China (42°23′N, 128°6′ E), Olga bay in the Sea of Japan (43°41′N, 135°15′E), eastern Asiatic Russia (45°18′N, 137°6′E), and North Korea (41°52'N, 128°23′E). Current studies have documented nutritional responses of Changbai larch seedlings to nursery fertilization, such as nutrient reserves establishment (Wei et al 2012) and out-planting performance (Li et al 2011(Li et al , 2013. According to these studies, it has been concluded that traditional fertilizer application could not create full nutrient reserves at the end of nursery culture (Wei et al 2012;Li et al 2013) and transplanted larger stocks performed better in shoot growth and survival (Li et al 2011(Li et al , 2013.…”

During the early time after transplanting, the ability of nitrogen (N) uptake in roots of tree stocks is crucial to their future performance. However, it is not clear about the relationship between size or nutrient reserves in nursery-cultured tree seedlings and root N flux (N flow within or out of root) after transplanting. In this study, we pre-fertilized Changbai larch (Larix olgensis Henry.) seedlings with three top-dress applications [N-phosphorus (P)-potassium (K), 20-4-10] at rates of 0 (control), 31.58 (E-Low), 200 (EMedium), and 525.08 (E-High) kg N ha -1 to different levels of nutrient storage during the first growing season. After being graded into large and medium sizes, stock N status was indicated to be discriminative in response to pre-fertilization by vector analysis. Overwinter stocks were transplanted into aerated distilled water or nutrient solution to detect root N influx or N efflux, respectively, at the second and fourth weeks under laboratory conditions. Larger stocks had higher net N influx and efflux rates. In large stocks, N influx tended to increase within one month's time in the E-Medium and E-High treatments, whereas N efflux tended to rise as well. In pre-transplanted stocks, root biomass linearly correlated with both N influx and N efflux, but root N concentration only correlated with N influx for large stocks. In conclusion, proper nursery fertilization could induce seedling N reserves, which would result in a higher N influx rate for larger stocks, whose roots, however, would also risk more N efflux in humid but infertile sites during the early time after planting.

“…Many parameters used to measure seedling quality in relation to field survival and productivity (Dey and Parker, 1997;Stone et al, 2003;Li et al, 2011;Tsakaldimi et al, 2013). Most of these are based on morphological characteristics, which are relatively simple to measure (Thompson, 1985;Pinto et al, 2011;Tsakaladami et al, 2013) and well correlated with field success (Dierauf and Garner, 1996;Dey and Parker, 1997;Apholo and Rikala, 2003;Semerci, 2005).…”

Peat has been the most common growing medium in tree nurseries, either alone or as a component of growing media mixes. However, as a result of increasing costs and decreasing amount of peat, seedling-growers are seeking more local growing medium components. In this study, container seedlings of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) were grown in pure peat and peat mixtures containing perlite and zeolite. Physical parameters (height, shoot diameter, root dry weight, shoot dry weight, total dry weight) were measured along with several morphological parameters (sturdiness quotient, height/diameter, shoot/root ratio). The zeolite additive in peat changed some media properties, and significant relation was established between some morphological attributes of seedlings and some medium properties in both species. On average, the seedlings grew best in pure peat, but zeolite additions to peat did not affect some morphological parameters negatively. The results suggest that zeolite has potential to be used as a component of peat based growing medium mixtures, and addition of zeolite to peat container medium in proportions of 10% by volume in Scots pine and up to 20% in silver birch was shown to be a feasible material for growing Scots pine and silver birch seedlings.
