Skuggvävens effekt på fryslagrade täckrotsplantor av tall (Pinus sylvestris) i upptiningsstadiet
This project was an assignment by Sveaskog and Svenska Skogsplantor. The purpose was to study the effect of protective fabric on the thawing stage of frozen pine seedlings. The function of the protective fabric is that it should protect the seedlings against strong sunlight and create an even temperature inside the boxes containing the seedlings. The result has shown that there was no statistically significant difference when the protective fabric was used or when it was not used, although this was probably due to the weather conditions. The study was carried out under cold and cloudy weather conditions and probably would have given other results if there had been more sunny days with a higher ambient temperature. However, the conclusions here still recommend the continued use of the protective fabric according to the current planting instructions used by Sveaskog.
