Comparative Analysis of Growth and Afforestation Effects of Different Seedling Cultivation Methods for Cunninghamia lanceolata Seedlings
To compare the growth and afforestation effects of two seedling cultivation methods for light substrate container seedlings of Cunninghamia lanceolata,this paper conducts growth measurements of container seedlings for Cunninghamia lanceolata cuttings and actual container seedlings for Cunninghamia lanceolata afforestation.The results indicate that after 10 months of afforestation growth,the height,ground diameter,height to diameter ratio,and year-on-year growth in height and ground diameter of young Cunninghamia lanceolata container seed-lings were 0.98m,18.3mm,53.3cm,73.1cm,and 14.4mm,respectively;The height,ground diameter,height to di-ameter ratio,and year-on-year growth in height and ground diameter of young Cunninghamia lanceolata container seedlings were 0.91m,18.2mm,50.0,67.8cm,and 14.6mm,respectively.Comprehensive comparative analysis shows that the container seedling stage and afforestation growth of Cunninghamia lanceolata cuttings are better than those of Cunninghamia lanceolata seedlings.Comprehensive comparison:Cunninghamia lanceolata cuttings,container seedlings,and afforestation all performed the best.
