This publication, a compilation of 28 technical articles on various aspects of forest nursery management in western North America, consists of two sections. The first 10 papers comprise the Target Seedling Symposium, and discuss the latest methods of describing and measuring the ideal seedling for reforestation purposes. Morphological characteristics such as height, diameter, stocktype, root system size, and mycorrnizae are covered. Considerable attention is paid to physiological tests such as root growth potential, hydraulic conductivity, cold-hardiness, mineral nutrition, seedling moisture status, and mitotic index. Chlorophyll fluorescence (Fvar), stress-induced volatile emissions (SIVE), and electrolyte conductivity (EC) are also discussed. The remaining papers deal with operational aspects of growing forest tree seedlings in bareroot or container nurseries.

Contains 28 technical articles addressing the improvement of the overall quality of planted stock by providing qualitative measures (targets) of seedling characteristics which seedling growers and users can use to optimize success in reforestation. Morphological characteristics such as height, diameter, stocktype, root system size, and mycorrhizae are covered. Presents extensive theoretical and applied information on specific quality characteristics as targets for seedlings as they leave the nursery, as well as the specific physiology and morphology targets of the seedling geared to success in reforestation at a specific site. Illustrated.
