Other claims from this paper (8)
- Recommendation Speckled alder is a convenient pioneer species that can be cultivated on harsh mountain sites.
- Recommendation Initial slow-release fertilization is highly desirable for speckled alder on mountain sites.
- Intervention effect Surface application of slow-release amendment reduced seven-year mortality of speckled alder by 9.5% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Planting-hole application of slow-release amendment reduced seven-year mortality of speckled alder by 20.1% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Surface application of slow-release amendment promoted the periodic annual height increment of speckled alder by 47% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Planting-hole application of slow-release amendment promoted the periodic annual height increment of speckled alder by 59% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Slow-release amendment application increased basal stem diameter and crown diameter of speckled alder compared with the control, analogously to the height and survival results.
- Recommendation Surface application of the slow-release amendment is less laborious and yielded satisfactory results for speckled alder.
