Proceedings of the Southern Containerized Forest Tree Seedling Conference
Abstract
Research findings provide benefits to society when they are communicated to and implemented by users. This principle was the rationale for the Southern Containerized Forest Tree Seedling Conference. In the 8 years since the North American Containerized Forest Tree Seedling Symposium in August 1974, southern foresters have developed container seedling nurseries and begun large-scale planting programs. By their experience and research, the state-of-the-art has been rapidly advanced. It was time to redefine the state-of-the-art for the 1980s.
