Effects of Container Size and Copper Treatment on Western White Pine Seedling Growth and Survival

Our study objective was to compare survival and growth of outplanted western white pine (Pinus monticola) seedlings, grown in 2 sizes of containers, with and without copper coating. We hypothesized that seedlings grown with copper treatment would outperform non-copper seedlings based on better root penetration, which facilitates water and nutrient uptake, and that seedlings that were larger at outplanting would maintain their size difference over time.
