Resource Description:
This peer-reviewed publication compares the effects of three soil amendments—an organic amendment, a chemical fertilizer, and a mycorrhizal inoculation—on the establishment of barefoot Jeffrey pine seedlings. The chemical fertilizer increased seedling growth by 78% compared to control conditions, while the mycorrhizal inoculation had no effect on growth. The organic amendment decreased growth compared to control conditions, likely due to impaired water relations.
