Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the practicality of using paper pots for producing Japanese cedar seedlings compared to traditional containers.
Conducted two seedling trials in 2024 and 2025 to assess growth traits and soil conditions.
Measured seedling height, root diameter, dry weights above and below ground, and soil moisture and temperature.
Compared initial survival rates of seedlings planted in two different locations.
No significant differences in growth traits between paper pots and standard containers were observed.
Soil temperature in paper pots showed a tendency to remain lower during summer days.
Seedling survival rates exceeded 88% at both planting sites, with no significant differences between container types.

Evaluates growth characteristics of Japanese cedar seedlings in biodegradable paper pots, suggesting high practicality.
