(38) Planting Depth and Tree Performance

Species for Christmas Tree Planting in Virginia*

Christmas trees can be grown through out the state, and growers are located in all regions. Se lec tion of the proper species, however, is important. Soil conditions and gen er al climate are the primary considerations influencing species selection, but other characteristics, such as con sum er pref er ence, species characteristics and require ments, condition of the planting site, and the pres...

Implementing Municipal Tree Planting: Los Angeles Million-Tree Initiative

Urban forests are increasingly being seen as an important infrastructure that can help cities remediate their environmental impacts. This work reports on the first steps in implementing a million tree program in Los Angeles and the ways such a biogenic-living-infrastructure has been approached. Numbers of studies have been done to quantify the benefits of urban forests, but little has been writ...

Tree Planting in Indonesia: Trends, Impacts and Directions

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) seed germination and emergence as affected by environmental factors and planting depth

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) seed germination and emergence in response todrought (Polyethylene glycol 8000) and salinity stress (NaCl), temperature, pH andplanting depth were studied in laboratory and greenhouse experiments. Base,optimum and ceiling germination temperature were estimated as 3.35, 21.24 and35.04 oC, respectively. Isabgol seed is rather tolerant to low water potential and high...

Influence of seasonal planting date on field performance of six temperate deciduous forest tree species

Most afforestation hardwood plantations in the Central Hardwood Forest Region, USA, are established with bareroot seedlings planted in late winter or early spring. This brief planting season is preferred for several logistical and physiological reasons, yet interest in fall planting has increased as a means to extend the planting season. We evaluated effects of a wide range of planting dates on...
