Abstract

The present studies were designed to aid in the solution of forest tree seedling establishment problems common to stand conversion practices in Iowa. The primary objectives were (1) to determine the minimum treatment needed to insure successful survival and growth (2) to study the relationships of light and soil moisture in plant competition resulting from stand conversion; and (3) to evaluate five species of conifers European larch, Scotch pine, eastern white pine, Norway spruce and red pine for adaptability to region, site and underplanting.
