Moisture Stress Conditioning of Containerized Loblolly Pine

Containerized loblolly pine seedlings wereconditioned to three levels of water stress: no water stress, moderate water stress, and severe water stress. The water stress treatments resulted in the production of significantly smaller seedlings, with root growth being reduced more than shoot growth. Although initially much smaller, the severely-stressed seedlings had the best field performance, likely as a result of their improved physiological condition.
