• Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “There are many examples from around the world that illustrate how seedling growth and survival over the first few years after planting is related to these characteristics (Benson and Shepherd 1976; Burdett 1979; Albert et al. 1980; Ritchie and Dunlap 1980; Sutton 1980; van den Driessche 1982, 1984, ”
• Predicting field performance of five irrigated tree species using seedling quality assessment in Burkina Faso, West Africa (2009, background): “The difficulty in finding a good indicator based on morphological attributes suggests a need for integrated approaches and ecophysiological evaluations in correlating seedling vigor with field performance (Mattsson 1996; Davis and Jacobs 2005).”
• Seedling Quality: History, Application, and Plant Attributes (2018, background): “Bud development Growth × [98–100] Dry weight fraction Lift/store × [101–103] Height and diameter Crop development × [11,21,37,55,75,104] Height and diameter Survival, growth × [4,5,11,21,22,26,27,29,104,105] Morphological ratios Survival, growth × [4,5,11,25,29,35,98] Root system Crop development × ”
• Why seedlings grow: influence of plant attributes (2017, background): “Nevertheless, RGP is a useful measure of vigor (Burdett 1983; Ritchie 1984; Glerum 1988; Johnson and Cline 1991; Mattsson 1997; Davis and Jacobs 2005; Grossnickle 2012) and remains a standard attribute in many seedling quality assessment programs (Ritchie et al. 2010; Landis 2011).”
