Describes an assessment of artificial and natural regeneration carried out in 12 different locations in the montane coastal western hemlock and subalpine mountain hemlock forests of British Columbia. Survival, growth, and stem form of eight different species, three stock types, and two planting seasons were compared to the growth, stocking, and stem form of naturally regenerated species. The species used in the trials included fir, pine, cedar, and hemlock. A ranking procedure is used to rate the species' productivity, reliability, and feasibility in the two regions studied. An appropriate regeneration strategy is recommended, with certain species providing the basic silviculture resource and others being used to increase the stand value and crop reliability.
Conifer Cold Hardiness provides an up-to-date synthesis by leading scientists in the study of the major physiological and environmental factors regulating cold hardiness of conifer tree species. This state-of-the-art reference comprehensively explains current understanding of conifer cold hardiness ranging from the gene to the globe and from the highly applied to the very basic. Topics addressed encompass cold hardiness from the perspectives of ecology, ecophysiology, acclimation and deacclimation, seedling production and reforestation, the impacts of biotic and abiotic factors, and methods for studying and analyzing cold hardiness. The content is relevant to geneticists, ecologists, stress physiologists, environmental and global change scientists, pathologists, advanced nursery and silvicultural practitioners, and graduate students involved in plant biology, plant physiology, horticulture and forestry with an interest in cold hardiness.
