Bare-root seedlings developed 60% more lateral roots compared to container-grown seedlings, indicating a stronger growth potential.
After 22 weeks, ectomycorrhizae were present at significantly greater distances from the original root system in bare-root seedlings.
The study examined root growth patterns at 4-week intervals, providing a detailed view of seedling development post-planting.
These findings imply potential advantages for bare-root seedlings in forest reforestation efforts.
