Buraczyk, W; Szeligowski, H. 2008. The impact of soil's textural group and moisture on the growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings with containerized root system. Lesne Prace Badawcze. 69(4):291-297. Address: No Address
The experiment was conducted under conditions of foil tent in the Forest Experimental Station in Rogow. During the study, the one-year old, not subjected to controlled mycorrhization Scots pine seedlings with containerized root system were used. The seedlings were produced in container nursery from the Jablonna Forest District and grew by 5 months in loose sand and silt with humidity of 40, 55 and 70% of full ground water capacity. The studies have shown that significantly greater increase, both overground parts and root systems, had seedlings growing on the coherent ground than on the non-coherent one. Higher humidity on the non-coherent ground has slowed the growth of overground part and accelerated the development of a root system, while on the coherent ground the reverse correlation was noticed. Research showed that the pine seedlings produced in a container nursery tolerate well tested moisture levels of sandy soil, while the coherent soil moisture at 70% proved to be too high for the proper development, particularly the root systems.
