Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the natural regeneration of Larix olgensis in eastern Liaoning Province, focusing on factors like seed bank viability and seedling growth.
- Results showed that 30% of seeds in a 40-year-old plantation were viable, with seedlings primarily emerging in spring but suffering from slow growth and high mortality rates by September.
- Key obstacles for successful regeneration were identified as inadequate light and heavy ground cover, while increased thinning improved seedling survival rates.
