Preliminary Identification of Morphological Indicators of Field Performance in Bare-Root Nursery Stock.

摘要

A general method for identifying key morphological attributes of bare-root nursery stock as indiciators of early field performance is presented. The method is exploratory with emphasis on relating attributes of individual seedlings to their early field performance. The approach is illustrated using data from a recent study of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill) seedling quality.
