Description: Effect of shade on 2-0 red fir seedlings outplanted on the Tahoe National Forest, central California, was studied by comparing five treatments: no shade, low shade for 1 year and for 2 years, and high shade for 1 year and for 2 years. Seedlings benefited from shading-even under apparently excellent survival conditions in the first season. The extra cost of artificial shades may be worthwhile under some conditions.
Key Words: Abies magnifica, seedling survival, outplanting, protective shading, Tahoe National Forest
