e0“The two-year survival and growth of seedlings of Magnolia stellata were monitored at a site following clearcutting”
e1“The mortality rate during the growing season of the first year was 3.4 %, much lower than reported in previous studies, possibly because of the high light levels due to clearcutting”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Mortality of Magnolia stellata seedlings in the winter season of the first year was 7.7%.
- Observation In the winter of the first year, 10 of 13 seedlings were killed by uprooting due to frost heave in wet locations.
- Observation Seedlings that grew in wet sites and germinated early showed good height growth in the first year.
- Association In the second year, soil moisture and germination timing had no effect on relative growth rate.
- Association Initial height was correlated with height growth in Magnolia stellata seedlings.
- Association Soil moisture conditions had positive effects on seedling growth and survival in the growing season of the first year.
- Association Soil moisture conditions had negative effects on seedling growth and survival in the winter season of the first year.
- Association Soil moisture conditions had no effect on seedling growth and survival in the second year.
- Association Soil moisture and growing-period length have strong effects on seedlings early in life that gradually decline as plants grow (author interpretation).
