Growth and nutritional response of hardwood seedlings to controlled-release fertilization at outplanting (2005, background): “Additionally, potential for new techniques such as exponential nutrient loading in the nursery (Timmer, 1997; Salifu and Timmer, 2003b) and nutrient spiking prior to outplanting (Timmer and Teng, 2004) should be examined as a means to stimulate hardwood seedling field response while eliminating the…”
Exponential fertilization of Pinus monticola seedlings: nutrient uptake efficiency, leaching fractions, and early outplanting performance (2005, background): “…achieved through use of exponential fertilization, has been examined in a variety of forest tree species (McAlister and Timmer 1998; Qu et al. 2003; Salifu and Timmer 2003a; Close et al. 2005; Hawkins et al. 2005), with the intent of loading seedlings with high N levels by applying fertilizer at…”
Why seedlings grow: influence of plant attributes (2017, background): “…to optimal nutrient reserves in newly planted seedlings have been attributed to increased remobilization of nutrients from old tissue to actively growing tissue when nutrient stress was most severe (McAlister and Timmer 1998; Xu and Timmer 1999; Imo and Timmer 2001; Salifu and Timmer 2003).”
Fertilizer-induced Changes in Rhizosphere Electrical Conductivity: Relation to Forest Tree Seedling Root System Growth and Function (2005, background): “Theoretically, total fertilizer inputs may be increased relative to conventional fertilization to the point where an optimum N dose is identified that results in maximum storage of N without compromising plant mass (i.e., exponential nutrient loading) (Salifu and Timmer 2003b).”
