The Target Seedling Concept

The target seedling concept means to target specific phys - iological and morphological seedling characteristics that can be quantitatively linked with reforestation success. For decades foresters have relied on the stocktype desig- nation, height, and caliper to grade seedlings. Nursery technology has advanced to the point where it is possible to achieve greater predictability in how seedlings will per- form after outplanting. This paper highlights the concept of target seedlings and their importance to reforestation.
