It is necessary to look at the relationship between the production processes of forest seedlings nurseries and planting success in afforestation. The later frozen stored seedlings are planted, the more likely they are to fail to form frost hardiness and be subject to damage in the same fall. This is among the research findings discussed in a reviewed article published recently in the scientific journal Forests. The main author of the article is Rakel J. Jónsdóttir, a forester and a postdoctoral researcher at Land and Forest.
