Results
All the three trials showed simi-
lar tendencies. After the first
summer in the Mosfell 1993 trial,
11 % of the sown seeds had ger-
minated. Germination continued
during the second summer,
resulting in a total germination
of 30% for all methods and
species. Seedling mortality was
high during the first winter,
except under cones, where more
than 80% of the seedlings sur-
vived. Differences between tree
species in the number of seed-
ing/planting spots with one or
more living seedling were signifi-
cant at the beginning of fourth
growing season, with lodgepole
pine giving significantly better

spots having at least one living seed-

In the trials at Höfði from 1996,
the total germination was higher
for lodgepole pine than Siberian
larch. Lodgepole pine seed had
similar germination results under
the plastic cones (60%) and in
the pyramidal indentions (50%).
Germination was significantly
lower for Siberian larch, but the
same methods were the most
beneficial or 40% in the cones
and 35% in the pyramidal inden-
tions.
