Long term survival and growth performance of selected seedling types in Cedar (Cedrus libani) afforestation in Turkey

摘要

Aim: Three different seedling types that are bare rooted, ENSO and polyethylene containerized seedlings are mainly used for Cedar afforestation in Turkey, however research on long-term field performance of these seedling types is meagre. The present study aims at comparing the survival and growth rate in order to determine the best seedling types for afforestation and also exploring their economic value at different sites.
