Effects of Site Preparation on Survival and Moisture Stress of Interior Douglas-Fir Seedlings Planted in Grass

Survival of planted Douglas-fir seedlings, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, was improved by several types of site preparation, especially herbicide treatment. Survival patterns closely followed levels of internal moisture stress. The results demonstrate the effect of grass on survival and internal moisture stress of planted Douglas-fir seedlings, as well as the benefits of grass controlling by spot treating with an herbicide.
