Q

Uniqueness of seeds in forest regeneration

A
  • Seeds produced in large numbers
  • Readily available in most cases, yearly or at longer
    intervals
  • Seeds as small concentrated packages of plants-to-be
    containing nutrients for the establishment of the plant
  • Seeds more resistant to damage and environmental
    stress than vegetative propagules
  • Many seeds can be stored for long periods of time
